Everyday apple pie

This week I spontaneously baked an apple cake, a very simple recipe - with lots of sugar cinnamon on the cake.

After all, cinnamon is supposed to be healthy - cinnamon is said to have many health-promoting properties, for example cinnamon is said to stimulate the appetite, promote intestinal activity and metabolism, and cinnamon is often said to have an antibacterial and even labor-promoting effect. Cinnamon is also said to improve insulin sensitivity, help stabilize blood sugar levels and reduce cholesterol (LDL). However, much of it is not scientifically proven, or only partially.

Or what did I hear on the radio the other day? Whether cinnamon has long-term health benefits or not, "Apple cake with cinnamon definitely tastes better than cinnamon without apple cake." Good point!

Ingredients

250 g powdered sugar

250 g soft margarine

3 eggs

300 g flour

1 tsp baking powder

1 pinch of ground vanilla
approx. 50 - 100 ml milk

100 g dark chopped chocolate

1 apple

50 g sugar cinnamon

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C) upper/lower heat.

In a bowl, mix the icing sugar with the margarine until fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, always mixing thoroughly.

Add flour, baking powder and ground vanilla and mix.

Add a little more milk until the dough has a 'nice' consistency.

Stir in the chopped chocolate with a spoon.

Line a springform pan (approx. 24 cm) with baking paper, pour the dough into the pan and smooth it out.

Peel, core and slice the apple and...

...distribute the apple slices on the cake dough and sprinkle with the sugar cinnamon.

Then bake the cake at 350 °F (180 °C) upper and lower heat for about 30 to 40 minutes until the cake has turned nice and golden brown (test with a toothpick!).

Let the cake cool slightly and serve with a little cream or vanilla ice cream if you like.
