Apple & Pinenut Torte

I don't even know what to call this kind of cake, I didn't have a name listed above my oil stained indecipherable written out recipe.

6 Granny Smith apples
1 large lemon (zest and juice)
3 eggs
250g caster sugar
2tsp natural vanilla extract
100g unsalted butter - melted
100ml milk
150g plain flour
2tsp baking powder
100g roasted pecans - roughly chopped
100g pine nuts - toasted

3tbsp caster sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2tsp ground nutmeg

• Slice apple on one of these fancy slicers. to a thin slice (perhaps 3mm). Just remember to core them!!
• Chuck them in a bowl and add all the zest from the lemon and the juice from the lemon
• Set aside.
• Get another bowl and using your beaters/mixer combine 3 eggs, your sugar and the vanilla.
• add milk then butter - for some reason I always add butter to the mixture very slowly, I think it makes the mixture thicker, it might just be in my head.
• fold through the plain flower and the baking powder.
• add yer nuts (pecans and pine nuts).
• mix it through the apples (give it a taste, because it tastes freaking awesome).
• put it in your lined cake pan then dust it with your caster sugar/cinnamon/nutmeg mix
• chuck her in the oven. I guess around 170°c for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until a skewer comes out squeaky clean.

Dust the entire thing with icing sugar, as it looks tonnes nicer :P
You can add sultanas if they are your thing, I prefer not to add them because they taste like arseholes.

There were no images of this kind of cake anywhere, so here is an apple.
