Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 F degrees. Generously grease an 8-inch springform pan or a cake pan and line it with parchment paper. Set it aside.
- Mix dry ingredients: Mix almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, kosher salt, and ground cinnamon in a large bowl until no lumps remain.
- Whisk wet ingredients: Whisk together eggs, maple syrup, coconut oil, and maple syrup in a bowl until emulsified.
- Combine the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients: Mix until just combined.
- Fold in the sliced apples: Add the thinly sliced apples in and fold them in until they are equally distributed within the batter.
- Transfer the batter to a pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared cake pan. Using the back of a spatula spread it evenly throughout the pan. Sprinkle with thinly sliced almonds.
- Bake: Bake for 55-60 minutes*.
- Let it rest & cool: Let it rest 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and allow it to cool on a wire rack for 45 minutes.
- Slice and serve.
Notes
- * When it first comes out of the oven, the cake will still be moist. Therefore, for the best results, I highly recommend letting the cake rest for at least 45 minutes before slicing. The additional time of rest allows the cake to cool down and set in for a perfectly moist paleo apple cake.
- Can I Freeze? For longer storage, slice it up and place it into a large plastic freezer storage bag with small squares of parchment between each slice. Alternatively, you can also wrap them individually with pre-cut parchment paper. Seal tight, label, date, and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

- How to store? For best results, store this gluten-free apple cake in an airtight container or wrapped in parchment paper on the kitchen counter for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.I would not recommend wrapping it in plastic wrap, as doing so will trap moisture and make the bread too soggy.
