HEALTHY APPLE AND ALMOND CAKE (GF, DF)
 
 
Ingredients
  • 2 cups almond meal (200g)
  • 1 tsp baking powder (gf if needed)
  • ½ tsp dutch cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 large granny smith apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
Method
  1. Preheat the oven to 160 (320 F) and line the base and sides of a 9 inch springform tin with baking paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix together the almond meal, baking powder, cinnamon and vanilla. Stir in the olive oil, honey and eggs, until the mixture is combined.
  3. Spread the batter over the base of the cake tin.
  4. Arrange the apples in a standing-up rose pattern on the batter, starting in the middle and working your way out until you've used all the apple slices.
  5. I sprinkled my apples with a teaspoon of caster sugar, but this is optional.
  6. Bake for 45 - 60 minutes, until the cake is set and the apples are lightly browned at their edges.
  7. Serves 8 - 10. Keeps best if stored in the fridge.
  8. Happy baking!
