This very low-fat apple flan is scrumptious. You can serve it for Kiddush, but it’s nice enough to serve for dessert. Everyone will appreciate a lighter, healthier cake.

Directions

Prepare the Flan

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).

  2. Beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla until they are light.

  3. Add the applesauce and mix well.

  4. Add the water, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix just until combined.

  5. Spread half the batter in a thin layer in a 10-inch springform pan sprayed with oil or baking spray.

  6. Arrange half of the apple slices over the batter.

  7. Top with the remaining batter. Arrange the remaining apple slices on top.

  8. Bake for 40 minutes, or until done. Do not overbake.

  9. If using a streusel topping, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and nuts and sprinkle this evenly over the apples before baking.

Optional Glaze

  1. If you wish to glaze the cake, combine the glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Drizzle this over the cooled cake.
