Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, erythritol, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy, then add the melted butter, vanilla extract, and unsweetened almond milk. Mix until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms.
Peel and core the apples, then slice them thinly. Toss the apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning and to add a touch of tartness.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared springform pan, spreading it evenly.
Arrange half of the apple slices over the batter in a circular pattern.
Pour the remaining batter over the apples and spread it gently.
Top with the remaining apple slices, slightly pressing them into the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing the springform ring.
Cool completely on a wire rack and serve. Enjoy your Keto Apfelkuchen!
