- 3 Sweet Grown Alabama eggs
- 1/3 cup Swerve Sweetener brown sugar

Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch casserole or cake pan. In a medium bowl, combine sliced or chopped apples, cinnamon and brown sugar substitute, coating the apples well.

- Add half of the cake batter to the prepared pan. Top with half of the prepared apples, spreading them as evenly as possible. Add the remaining cake batter and top with the remaining apples, distributing them evenly.
- Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, checking frequently. The cake is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 205 F. Cool before serving.
