Pears can provide a similar texture and flavor.

Get a bowl and add 200 g of unsalted butter.

Melt the butter in the microwave on low power for about a minute.

Peel 4-5 sour apples and cut them thinly.

Toss the sliced apples in lemon juice to prevent browning (optional).

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

In a mixing bowl, combine 4 medium-sized eggs and mix with a hand mixer.

Add 180 g of sugar and 2 teaspoons of vanilla sugar to the eggs and mix until fluffy.

Pour in the melted butter while mixing to avoid scrambling the eggs.

Weigh out 250 g of all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and mix them into the wet ingredients carefully.

Fold in most of the sliced apples into the batter, reserving some for the top.

Pour the batter into a 9-inch silicone pan lined with baking paper (if not using silicone).

Top with the reserved apple slices.

Bake in the oven for 30 to 45 minutes.

Let it cool for about 20 minutes before dusting with powdered sugar.
