Mix diced apples with sugar and let sit overnight. Mix raisins, diced apricots and figs in a bowl and let soak in 250 ml apple juice overnight.
The day after, preheat oven to 170 ° C (circulating air). Mix flour, baking powder, cocoa and spices together in a bowl. Add the nuts, 250 ml apple juice, soaked dried fruit and apples and mix carefully.
