Apple Healthy Cake
I love using apples in my healthy recipes, in cakes or snacks. They impart both flavor and natural sweetness directly to cakes and snacks. This light and soft cake takes 10 minutes to prepare and 20 minutes to bake. If you have a food processor or blender to mix the ingredients, the preparation time will be reduced by 5 minutes, making your job easier. When I make cakes, I always process the liquid ingredients in a food processor and pour them into a bowl, then add the oats. Because I prefer the consistency when I mix the oats in a bowl with a regular whisk. But you can do it however you like.
Why do I recommend Apple Fitness Cake, and what are its ingredients?
When I run out of bananas, I choose apples as an alternative. Apples really give the cake a wonderful aroma. I also have an apple brownie recipe. My recipes use small ingredient quantities because I get about 7-8 slices of cake and 8-9 pancakes, and that's enough for me. But you can increase the measurements one by one depending on how much you want to eat. My Apple Fit Cake also has small ingredients and is extremely easy to make. If you don't have time to make the cake in the morning, you can make it the night before and store it in a sealed container in the refrigerator. The cake can last for 2 days in the refrigerator. I really liked the sesame seeds on top of the fit apple cake. Both the aroma the apple gives to the cake and the taste of the sesame seeds are very harmonious. This recipe is suitable for both gluten-free and sugar-free diets. The cake is both protein-rich and a delicious snack, a recipe that goes well with coffee and tea at any time of day. I want to talk about the benefits of the apple inside the cake and the sesame seeds on top.

How to Make Apple Healthy Cake
1. Blend the egg, milk, and apple in a food processor. If you don't have a food processor, grate the apples finely. Then, mix the egg and milk together and add the grated apple.
3. Pour the mixture from the bowl into the baking dish where you will bake the cake. You can sprinkle sesame seeds or other toppings on top if you like. I greased the baking dish with butter, so the cake didn't stick. You can also use coconut oil instead of butter. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes. Enjoy! Stay healthy and with love.

Health Note
While classic apple cakes or tarts contain high amounts of butter, white flour, and refined sugar, this recipe is completely clean. The natural sugars of apples and raisins sweeten the cake sufficiently, eliminating the need to add extra sugar. The sesame seeds on top provide a cookie-like crunch while supplying healthy, heart-healthy fats. Combined with the high fiber content of oat flour and the protein of eggs, this recipe is a wonderful tea time option that keeps blood sugar levels balanced and provides a feeling of fullness for a long time.
