Ingredients

3 eggs

5 tbsp sugar

1 cup orange juice or milk

Orange zest

1 cup vegetable oil

1 cup semolina + a little extra as needed

8 g baking powder

Vanilla (essential if using milk instead of orange juice)

2 large apples

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 170–180°C.
In a bowl, mix the eggs, sugar, and vanilla, then add the oil, orange juice (or milk), and orange zest.
Gradually add the semolina while mixing until the batter is smooth. Add the baking powder and mix gently until fully incorporated.
Grease a baking pan with butter and lightly flour it.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Peel and slice the apples, then arrange them evenly over the batter in the pan.
Bake using bottom heat only. If needed, briefly turn on the top heat at the end to allow the surface to brown.
Once out of the oven, brush the top with jam, nappage, or honey for a glossy finish.
Serve it with atay (our all time favorite!) or juice.
