Torta di mele (apple pie)

My mum's Torta di mele recipe :)

Ingredients:

3 eggs

200g of sugar

1 glass of oil (150g)

350g of flour

1 bag of baking powder (16g)

A bit of grated lemon skin

2-3 apples

A bit of butter

Procedure:

Combine the 3 eggs (1) with 200g of sugar (2) and beat until they become pale white (3) with an electric mixer. Add the glass of oil and the grated lemon skin and beat until fully incorporated. Add little by little the 350g of flour (4) with a sieve (5) and mix (better if with a whisk). Once you have added all the flour the batter will become thick (6).

Preheat the oven at 180°C. Peel, core, and slice the apples. Grease accurately the pan with the butter and then flour it.

Add the baking powder to the batter and mix carefully with a whisk. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan (7) and smooth the top with an apple slice (8). Decorate the cake with the apple slices (9). Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-45 minutes or until golden brown and a speghetti inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

When ready turn off the oven open it and wait for the cake to cool down in it.

Enjoy!
