Apple Cake with Glaze
Healthy, because
Even smarter
Small, fine and simple: this apple pie is also an eye-catcher without much effort and perfect for a smaller coffee table. The apples provide plenty of immune-strengthening vitamin C and the fibre pectin, which makes the digestion especially happy.

Preparation steps
Peel the apples, cut into quarters, remove the core and halve quarters again. Toss the apples with lemon juice, brandy and honey. Cover and let sit for half an hour.
Cream butter until fluffy. Add sugar, lemon zest, eggs and vanilla sugar and continue to cream until light and fluffy. Combine the flour and baking powder and stir alternately with the milk into the batter. Butter the baking pan and dust with flour. Evenly spread the batter into the baking pan.
Arrange the apple slices on the batter and bake in an oven preheated to 175°C (approximately 350°F) for 50 minutes. Loosen the mold and allow to cool.
Mix the powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of water until smooth. Drizzle over the cake decoratively. Let set before serving.
