Step by step process

Preparing the dough

1
Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Prepare a round pan for the apple oat cake. Line it with parchment paper, or grease and flour it well.
2
In one bowl, mix the oats, spelt flour, baking powder, and two teaspoons of cinnamon. Combine the dry ingredients evenly.
3
In a second bowl, whisk the eggs with Greek yogurt, honey, and canola oil until smooth.
4
Grate two apples coarsely. Slice the other two into thin rounds and chop the walnuts.
5
Fold the dry ingredients, grated apples, and 60 g of chopped nuts into the liquid mixture. The dough should turn thick but still moist.

Baking

6
Spread the dough into the prepared pan. Smooth the surface with a spatula so the cake bakes evenly at the edges.
7
Arrange the apple slices on top. Sprinkle them with two tablespoons of oats, the remaining nuts, and one teaspoon of cinnamon.
8
For a deeper caramel flavor, drizzle the top with one more teaspoon of honey. Slide the pan into the preheated oven.
9
Bake for about 35 to 40 minutes. The top should turn golden, and a skewer poked into the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.

Serving

10
Let the baked cake cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes. The oats absorb the remaining moisture and the cake firms up.
11
Carefully remove the cooled cake and cut it into wedges. Serve it as a lighter breakfast, a snack, or a healthier dessert with coffee.
