Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • ¾ cup coconut oil or avocado oil

Instructions

  1. To prepare the apples, peel and core about 4 apples. Slice them into about ¼ inch thick slices and place them into a large bowl. Pour the sugar over the apples and give them a quick toss with your hands and then add the lemon juice. Let the apples and the sugar sit for about 30-45 minutes. This process will soften the apples and dissolve the sugar.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  3. Add the oil, eggs and vanilla to the apple mixture and stir together with a spoon.
  4. Add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and cloves into the apple mixture. Combine with a spoon carefully until the dry mixture is just incorporated.
  5. Spray a 9x9 or 9x13 baking dish with baking spray and line with parchment paper. Transfer the batter into the baking dish and bake in a preheated oven for 50-55 minutes for a 9x9 or 45-50 minutes for a 9x13, or until a knife can be inserted in the center and comes out clean.
  6. Serve with freshly whipped cream.

Notes

  • When it comes to baking with apples, the rule of thumb is to use firm varieties since they’ll hold up better while baking. I used a mixture of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples to balance the tart and sweet flavors but feel free to use any other firm apples you have on hand. The key is to slice them into about ¼ inch thick slices, so you get a little bit of apple in every bite.
