1 tablespoon plus 3/4 cup sugar
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Lightly oil an 8" square pan and flour pan lightly.

Pare and slice apples thin, under 1/4" thick; set aside.
With mixer on medium, beat eggs with 3/4 cup sugar until light.
Add honey, oil and lemon rind; mix to blend.
Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Combine the lemon juice and water on low speed, mix half the flour mixture and half the lemon juice mixture alternately into the egg mixture; repeat with remaining flour and lemon juice mixtures.
Mix in walnuts on low speed.
Spoon 1/4 of the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Arrange 1/3 of apple slices on batter and sprinkle evenly with 1/3 of cinnamon mixture [about 1 heaping tsp.] Spoon another 1/4 of the batter in dollops over apples and spread very gently.
