Making it is really simple. The filling is made from apples that are stewed together with sugar and cinnamon, and with a little semolina that absorbs the apple juices. The dough is made quickly and easily, and in addition to the eggs, there are all the standard and always available ingredients such as flour, oil, milk and sugar.

The filling is placed between two layers of dough, just like many other cakes with this fruit. The result is a really irresistible fragrant dessert. This old fashioned apple cake is great warm or cold, and everyone is always happy to eat it, so it will be a hit on any occasion.
