Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180 ° C (350 F) and prepare a 22 cm springform pan covered with parchment paper, wet and squeezed. Then wash and peel the apples.
• Cut some apples (about half of them) into small pieces and some into thin slices. Squeeze the lemon juice on both to flavour and keep them from blackening. Set the apples aside.
• In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar for 5 minutes, until very frothy and well whipped (you can also use an electric mixer). Then add the melted butter and lemon zest.
• Add the flour, baking powder and milk. Mix and combine the ingredients very well. Finally add the chopped apples (but keep the slices aside) to the mixture and mix well by hand with a wooden spoon.
• Pour the mixture into the springform pan and then cover it completely with the apple slices arranged in a radial pattern.
• Before baking, sprinkle the surface of the cake with brown sugar, which during cooking will form a crunchy and delicious crust.
• Bake at 180° C (350 F) for about 50 minutes. The apple cake will be ready when the apple slices are toasted and golden. Let the cake cool before serving.
