• 2 tablespoons sugar (40 g)

• ½ teaspoon cinnamon (optional but recommended)

For the batter

• 2 eggs (about 62 g each)

• 80 ml vegetable oil or melted coconut oil (⅓ cup)

• 160 g all-purpose flour (1¼ cups)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• Pinch of salt

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Apples

Place the sliced apples in a bowl.
Add lemon juice, 2 tablespoons sugar, and cinnamon.
Mix well and set aside for 10 minutes to soften and release juices.

2️⃣ Make the Batter

In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with sugar until light and slightly fluffy.
Add milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Sift in flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gently mix until you get a smooth, lump-free batter.

3️⃣ Assemble the Pie

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
Line or lightly grease a round or square baking pan (20–22 cm).

Arrange the apples evenly at the bottom of the pan.
Pour the batter over the apples and spread gently.

4️⃣ Bake

Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
