Directions
Notes: From Orange County Register Preliminaries: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil an 8-inch square pan, line it with foil, and lightly oil the foil. Flour the foil lightly.
1. Mix 1 tablespoon sugar with the cinnamon. Sift the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Pare, halve, core and slice the apples thin, under ¼ inch; set aside.
2. With a mixer, beat the eggs with the remaining ¾ cup sugar on medium speed about 3 minutes or until light. Add the honey, vegetable oil, applesauce and lemon rind and beat to blend. In a small cup, mix the lemon juice and water. With a mixer on low speed, add flour mixture and diluted lemon juice alternately in 3 batches. Add walnuts and blend on low speed.
3. Spoon one-third of batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Arrange half the apple slices on the batter and sprinkle evenly with half the cinnamon mixture. Spoon another one-third of the batter in dollops over the apples. Repeat with another layer of apples and cinnamon. Top with remaining batter; the apples may peek through in spots.
4. Bake about 40 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in cake's center comes out clean. Cool cake in pan on a rack about 30 minutes. Run a metal spatula around cake and turn out onto rack. Let cool before serving.
