Norwegian Apple Cake

Had 9 cooking apples from my brother so this is the first apple item. I substituted ground almonds for the toasted ones and added an extra egg. Picture from original recipe as my cake is going into the deep freeze.

1 Egg
2 Tbs Milk
1/2 Cup (100g) Castor sugar
1 Tsp Pure vanilla extract
1 Tsp Baking powder
1 Tsp Ground cinnamon
1/3 Tsp Allspice
1 Cup All-purpose flour
50g Chopped almonds toasted
3 Medium-sized tart apples

1. Preheat the oven to 180° C (350° F), line a 18cm (7-inch) spring form cake pan with baking paper and then butter it.
2. Peel, core, and dice the apples.
3. Stir all the ingredients together (the mixture will be similar to that of muffins).
4. Spread into the pan.
5. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

6. After 1 minutes, run delicately a knife along the side of cake to loosen, then remove from the side of spring form pan.
7. Place a cooling rack upside down over the cake. Turn rack and cake over. Remove the bottom as well as the baking paper of the spring form pan. Place back on the rack.
8. Cool completely before serving.
