In a mixing bowl, whisk together almond milk (1 cup), olive oil (0.25 cup), sugar (0.75 cup), vanilla extract (1 tbsp), and the zest of lemon (0.5).

Sift all purpose flour (2 cup), baking powder (1 tbsp), and salt (0.125 tsp) into the bowl. Mix briefly until you have a smooth, thick batter without over-mixing.

Fold in the small pieces of apples (2.5) with a spatula and pour the batter into the prepared pan.

Arrange thin slices of apples (1.5) in a circular pattern on top. Mix sugar (2 tbsp) with cinnamon (1 tsp) and sprinkle evenly over the fruit.

Bake on the center rack for 55-60 minutes. A skewer should come out clean when the cake is done.
