If you are looking for a delicious, healthy afternoon treat, this creamy apple cake is about to become your new favourite. It has an incredibly smooth texture that reminds you of cheesecake, but packed with all the natural flavour and moisture of fresh fruit.

I make it with wholegrain oat flour, smooth quark or whipped fresh cheese, and without any refined sugars, finishing it with a light layer of homemade jam. It is so easy to prepare, perfect for enjoying a wholesome sweet treat ready in the fridge all week long.
