Preparation time: 10 minutes
Baking time: 40 minutes
Total: 50 minutes
Number of servings: 8

Ingredients:
Composition 1:
- 1 cup flour (approximately 130 g)
- 1 cup semolina (approximately 150 g)
- 1 cup sugar (approximately 200 g)
- 1 baking powder (approximately 10 g)

Composition 2:
- 1 kg apples, grated and squeezed (approximately 4-5 large apples)
- 1 pinch of cinnamon (optional, for extra flavor)

For assembly:
- 100 g margarine (or butter for a richer taste)
- Powdered sugar for decoration

Preparing the cake:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. Make sure the apples are well washed. I recommend choosing slightly sour apples, like green apples, as they pair perfectly with the sweetness of the sugar in the recipe.

2. Preparing composition 1: In a large bowl, combine the flour, semolina, sugar, and baking powder. Mix the dry ingredients well with a spatula or whisk, ensuring there are no lumps.

3. Preparing the apples: Grate the apples using a large grater. Then, place them in a bag or sieve and squeeze well to remove excess juice. It is essential to keep the juice, as it will add moisture to the cake. If desired, you can sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon over the grated apples to enhance the flavor.

4. Preparing the baking tray: Preheat the oven to 180°C (low heat). In a baking tray, add 100 g of room temperature margarine, cut into cubes. If you prefer a richer taste, you can use butter instead of margarine.

5. Assembling the cake: Pour half of composition 1 into the prepared tray, smoothing it with a spatula. Then, add the squeezed apples, distributed evenly. Cover the apples with the remaining composition 1, and finally, pour the reserved juice from the apples on top to keep the cake moist and flavorful.

6. Baking: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes on low heat. It is important not to increase the temperature, as we want the cake to bake evenly and not dry out.

7. Cooling and serving: Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the tray for 10-15 minutes. After it has cooled, you can sprinkle powdered sugar on top for a festive appearance.

8. Serving suggestion: This cake pairs perfectly with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of cream. The flavors complement each other and turn the cake into an unforgettable dessert.

Nutritional benefits:
Apples are full of vitamins, minerals, and fiber, with a low-calorie content. This cake contains approximately 200 calories per serving, making it a relatively healthy choice for a dessert. Additionally, semolina adds extra fiber, aiding digestion.

Possible variations:
- You can add chopped nuts or almonds to the apple mixture for a crunchy texture.
- Replace part of the flour with whole wheat flour for a more rustic flavor and higher fiber content.
- Experiment with different spices, such as nutmeg or ginger, to customize the cake's flavor.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use other fruits instead of apples?
Yes, you can try pears or peaches, but make sure to squeeze them well to avoid adding excess moisture.
- How can I make the cake less sweet?
Reduce the amount of sugar in the mixture or use a natural sweetener.

So, enjoy this quick and simple cake that will not only delight your taste buds but also bring many pleasant moments in the company of loved ones. Enjoy!
