Inspired by the recipe posted on tasty.co, this is an adaptation of the original recipe that was tailored to avoid plain sugar and limit the number of calories. I was basically searching for a way to bake the apples I kept on my balcony for quite a while now so that they don’t go bad in the meantime. The result was so surprisingly delicious that I am going to call this my favorite apple cake!

Notes
The original recipe includes a caramel sauce, but I wanted to exclude the sugars as much as possible. If you like you can prepare a light vanilla sauce instead with honey.
