Ingredients

For the filling:
  • 2 apples (2 cups chopped; reserve the rest for the topping)
  • 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon honey
  • Pinch of cinnamon
For the cake:
  • 3 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ginger powder
  • 3 eggs

  • 3/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/3 cup monkfruit (1/4 cup if you like it less sweet)
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F, and line the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium sauce pan over medium/high heat, combine 2 cups of chopped apples, 2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon of honey, and a pinch of cinnamon to make the filling. Cook until soft, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Once the apples are soft, lightly mash them with a fork. You want them mostly mashed, but with some bigger chunks for texture. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, add the almond flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and ginger. Stir until well combined.
  5. In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs, vanilla extract, almond milk, coconut sugar, monkfruit, and honey using an electric hand mixer.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix until well combined.
  7. Cut the remaining 1/2 apple into thin slices.
  8. Lay the apple slices on the bottom of the prepared springform pan. Overlap the bottoms of the apples and fan out the tops to form a pretty spiral shape.
  9. Pour half of the batter into the pan and spread it carefully, making sure not to move the apple slices around too much.
  10. Spoon the apple filling over the cake batter and spread evenly.
  11. Carefully spoon the remaining cake batter over the apple filling and spread evenly.
  12. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  13. Let the cake completely cool in the pan. Then run a knife along the edges before opening the springs to remove the cake.
