Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C (356 degrees F).
Grease and flour a 22 cm (9 inches) pan, and set aside.
Prep the apples
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Place the slices in a bowl with the lemon juice, toss to coat, and set aside.
Make the cake batter
Put the eggs, sugar, grated lemon zest, and salt in a bowl, and beat until thick and creamy.
Add the flour, baking powder, milk, and mix on low speed until combined.
Using a rubber spatula or a wooden spoon, fold in two-thirds of the apples into the batter.
Pour the batter in the prepared pan
Arrange the remaining apple slices, flat-side down, over the top. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sugar (optional).
Bake the apple cake
Bake the apple cake for approximately 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, and the top is golden brown.
Cool completely, then dust the cake with powdered sugar just before serving.
