# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 30 cm (12-inch) springform pan and wrap the outside with foil to prevent leakage.
02 -
Combine sliced apples with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice in a bowl. Allow to macerate while preparing other components.
03 -
Mix eggs, oil, potato flour, sugar, matzo meal, and salt until well combined.
04 -
Spread half of the cake batter evenly across the bottom of the prepared springform pan.
05 -
Arrange the apple slices with their juices over the batter layer.
06 -
Carefully spread the remaining cake batter over the apple layer.
07 -
Combine chopped nuts or matzo meal, cinnamon, sugar, and butter. Mix with fingertips to create clumps of streusel.
08 -
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the cake surface.
09 -
Bake for approximately 75 minutes until golden brown and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
10 -
Allow cake to cool completely before removing the springform ring.
11 -
In a small saucepan, combine butter, brown sugar, and milk. Bring to a boil while stirring constantly. Once boiling, continue to cook for 2½ minutes.
12 -
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Allow to cool to room temperature. For a thicker consistency, add a few tablespoons of powdered sugar.
13 -
Pour caramel sauce over the cake just before serving. Note that the sauce will remain soft for approximately 4 hours before hardening.
# Additional Info:
01 -
The caramel sauce will harden if left on the cake overnight but will still taste delicious.
02 -
Wrapping the springform pan with foil helps prevent leakage, especially if your apples are particularly juicy.
