# Étapes de préparation:
01 -
Cut your apples in half, get rid of the cores, and slice each half into super thin pieces, about 1/8 inch thick. Toss these slices with lemon juice, melted butter, and sugar in a medium microwave-safe dish. Microwave for 2 minutes, mixing it halfway. Keep to the side until you’re ready to use.
02 -
Set your oven temperature to 175°C (350°F). Grease a 23cm (9-inch) springform pan and have it ready for later.
03 -
Whip the soft butter with sugar in a big bowl until it’s nice and creamy, about a minute. Add one egg at a time, mixing well before the next. Stir in the vanilla and grated lemon peel.
04 -
In a different bowl, whisk together the salt, flour, and baking powder.
05 -
Keeping the mixer on low, alternate between adding the dry mix and the milk to the butter mixture—use three portions of dry and two of milk. Gently fold the grated apple in last, just enough to mix it.
06 -
Scoop the batter into the greased springform pan. Use the back of a spoon or offset spatula to smooth the top layer so it’s even.
07 -
Starting at the pan’s edge, push thin apple slices into the batter upright, creating a circular edge. Overlap them as you work towards the center of the cake. For the final touch, roll 6 overlapping slices into a rose shape and put them in the middle.
08 -
Pop it into the preheated oven for about 40 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when a toothpick stuck into the center comes out clean.
09 -
While the cake’s still warm, carefully brush the top with the warmed maple syrup for a lovely shiny finish. Let it cool down completely, then dust with powdered sugar right before serving.
