Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

2. Combine honey and lemon juice in a large nonstick skillet; bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add apples; cook 14 minutes or until almost tender stirring frequently. Remove from heat; set aside.

3. Beat 3/4 cup granulated sugar, butter, brown sugar, and vanilla at medium speed of a mixer until well-blended (about 4 minutes). Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the lemon rind. Lightly spoon floor into a dry measuring cup, and level with a knife. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt, stirring well with a whisk. Gradually add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture, beating at a low speed until blended. Pour batter into a 9-inch springform pan coated with cooking spray.

4. Remove apples from skillet with a slotted spoon; discard remaining liquid. Arrange apple slices spoke-like on top of the batter, pressing slices gently into the batter. Combine 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle evenly over apples. Bake at 350 for 1 hour or until cake springs back when touched lightly in the center. Cool in pan on a wire rack. Cut into wedges using a serrated knife.
