Torta di mele multicolor

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 apples + 3 apples for the top (1 red, 1 green, 1 yellow)
  • 3 eggs
  • 50 g of multi-flower or acacia honey
  • 80 g coconut oil (or 80 g butter)
  • 200 g of sugar
  • 175ml of milk
  • 300 g of flour
  • 16 g of yeast
  • Granulated sugar and apricot jam to taste for the top

PROCEDURE

(Prepared with a 22 cm mould)

  • Separate the yolks from the whites.
  • Beat the egg yolks with the sugar.
  • Add the honey, then the coconut oil (or butter) and the milk.
  • Add the sifted flour and yeast.
  • Beat the egg whites until stiff and add them to the mixture with a spatula.
  • Peel and slice the 4 apples. Add them to the mixture and mix.
  • Pour the mixture into a cake pan lined with baking paper or greased and floured.
  • Now slice the apples from the top using a mandolin or a knife trying to obtain slices of the same thickness.
  • If you are quick, you don't need to wet them with lemon juice to prevent them from blackening (otherwise, do it!).
  • Place the apple slices of different colors on the top of the cake (watch the video).
  • Sprinkle with white granulated sugar.
  • Bake at 180° for about 40 minutes (do the toothpick test because it depends a lot on your oven, it could take up to 50 minutes, check that the center of the cake is cooked; the toothpick must be dry. You can cover the top with tin foil to prevent it from darkening too much and continue cooking calmly).
  • Remove from the oven and brush the top with apricot jam (heat it in the microwave for a minute to make it runny)
