Norwegian apple almond cake slice on a plate

Easy Norwegian Apple and Almond Cake

This easy Norwegian apple almond cake is simple but so delicious. The cake base is a bit denser than a normal sponge cake and almost like a cross between an apple cake and a blondie, topped with almond paste, apples, cinnamon sugar, and toasted almonds.
