Pour the mixture into the prepared mold and smooth the surface with the back of a spoon or a spatula.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Monitor the baking: the cake should be golden brown on top and a knife inserted in the center should come out clean.

7. Cooling:

Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes so that it firms up slightly.

Then carefully remove it from the mold and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

Health Benefits

Apples: Rich in fiber, antioxidants and vitamin C, they promote good digestion and strengthen the immune system.

Mascarpone: Provides calcium and a creamy texture, but should be consumed in moderation due to its high calorie content.

Balanced recipe: The use of simple ingredients, without excess sugar, makes it a delicious but not too heavy dessert.
