In a non-stick saucepan, bring the whole eggs with the brown sugar to 45 ° C. Then pour the mixture into the bowl of the planetary mixer and whip everything until the mixture is whitish and fluffy, even if the brown sugar will give a darker color.
Add the sifted flour and cinnamon, mixing with a spatula from bottom to top without removing the mixture. Add the melted butter now at room temperature and continue to mix.
Finally add the pieces of apple and mix for a few more minutes. Pour the mixture into a previously greased and floured hinged pan and bake in a preheated oven at 175 ° C for at least 40 minutes and in any case until the surface is colored. Remove from the oven and leave to cool completely on a wire rack. Sprinkle with icing sugar.
