Incredibly moist apple cake

Nutritional Information
This apple cake is a moderately fat dessert thanks to the use of a small amount of melted butter. It contains complex carbohydrates from the flour, natural fructose from the apples, and lean protein from the eggs. Each slice provides between 180 and 220 calories, depending on the portion size. The apples provide dietary fiber, essential for good digestion, and a little vitamin C. By choosing plant-based milk or unrefined sugar, the recipe can easily be adapted to certain specific diets while maintaining its moist texture.
