This apple and lemon cake is a balanced dessert, ideal for those who want to maintain stable blood sugar and calorie intake without sacrificing taste. Using erythritol instead of sugar results in a much lower glycemic index than traditional recipes, making this cake suitable for people with insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, or those looking to lose weight.
Apples, naturally rich in soluble fiber like pectin, help slow the absorption of sugars and promote satiety. Lemon, thanks to its acidity and high flavonoid and vitamin C content, acts as a natural antioxidant and helps preserve the color and freshness of the cooked fruit. The addition of a light apricot jam provides a sweet flavor without excess calories, for a bright and pleasing result.
This cake is suitable for adults, the elderly, people with metabolic disorders, and anyone who wants to incorporate healthier, more balanced desserts into their daily diet.
The apple pie you’d never expect: lemon-scented, sugar-free, and as soft as a cloud !
