Hungarian Apple Cake (Almás Pite)

I am a Christ loving Grandma who has been following a low carb lifestyle for many years. I am a type II diabetic and a major foodie, which sometimes can be polar opposites! I collect many recipes that are not low carb, so that I can take a stab at recreating the recipe suitable for my dietary needs. I also make sweets for alot of my family members & friends. So I have lots of recipes from all kinds of different dietary profiles in order to influence and supplement my "foodie" tendencies.

Is it a pie or a cake? It is definitely delicious, an easy to make dessert filled with sweetened shredded apple spiced with cinnamon and lemon.
