Ingredients

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cups unsweetened applesauce
• 3 cups apples, peeled and chopped
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 3 tbsp honey
• 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tbsp water

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan, then line with parchment.
2. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla, and honey until smooth.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix just until combined; fold in the chopped apples and lemon zest.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface.
6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
7. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Make the lemon-honey glaze by whisking powdered sugar with lemon juice and a splash of water until smooth.
9. Drizzle or brush the glaze over the cooled cake and let it set for a few minutes.
10. Dust with a little extra cinnamon if desired and slice to serve.
