Apple sponge cake baked in the oven

Description

Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. You can use apples to your liking—for example, chop them into small cubes and mix into the batter, or slice them into wedges and place on top or between layers. I really enjoy the combination of apples, cinnamon, and various spices. Try it! Serve cooled or slightly warm.
