Peel and take the cores out of the apples. Finely slice the remaining pulp.
In the meantime, mix the eggs in a large bowl until fluffy.
Add the maple syrup, the milk and butter, then mix together.
Add the flour and mix genly.
Add the sliced apples in the mix and blend together gently.
Prepare a small baking tin by coating it with baking paper.
Scoop the apples and place them in the baking tin. Pour the remaining batter on top when ready.
Garnish the top of the cake with the sliced almonds.
Bake for 40 minutes in at 180C.
Take out the tin, cover it with aluminium foil and bake for another 10 minutes.
Take out, remove the foil and leave to cool off completely before serving.
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.
