The apple and cinnamon cake is a classic dessert that combines the natural sweetness of apples with the warm aroma of cinnamon. This version, which includes ginger cookies and a touch of almonds, offers a unique texture and a spiced flavor that will delight lovers of traditional desserts. Originating from European pastry, this cake has become a favorite to accompany afternoon coffee or tea.
The key lies in the combination of layers: thin apple slices are interleaved with a crunchy mixture of ginger cookies and sugar, creating a contrast of textures. When baked, the apples caramelize with the butter and sugar, while the cinnamon enhances their flavor. It is ideal for those seeking a dessert that is not overly sweet but full of nuances.

Preheat the oven to 180ºC.
Peel the apples and remove the stem, but not the entire core.
Very carefully, using a mandolin, cut all the apples into thin slices and place in a bowl of cold water.
Grease a 20 cm cake pan with butter and cover with sugar.
Place the apples on the bottom and cover with the mixture of processed gingerbread cookies and sugar.
Continue this process until you have completed the desired number of layers.
On the final layer, sprinkle a little cinnamon and a little butter.
Press the apples down lightly and then place in the oven for 30-40 minutes until the apples are soft and caramelized.
While this is cooking, make the caramel: heat the sugar in a non-stick saucepan on medium heat.
Don't move the sugar, no matter how tempting it may be.
Only when it starts to bubble and all the sugar turns golden brown can the pan be carefully stirred to incorporate all the sugar.
Pour quickly onto grease-resistant paper or silicone mat and sprinkle with walnuts and cookie crumbs in reserve.
Allow to cool and harden completely.
Mix the cream with sugar until a desired consistency is achieved, add the hardened caramel cut into pieces.
Serve with the cake. Delicious!
