Grandma Luigina's Apple Cake
People of my native Liguria are known for their extreme frugality and «Grandma Luigina» was no exception. Hence she developed a great number of recipes which are rich in taste but use only «poor» ingredients and very little fat. No butter is used in this cake aside from a very small amount to grease the baking dish.
