8 servings

Prep time: 25 min

Cook time: 40 min

Ingredients:

• 1 cups fresh apples (chopped)
• 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp. brown sugar
• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 1 tbsp. almond milk

Instructions:

• 1. Warm a nonstick pan on a medium flame. Add apples and ½ cup brown sugar to it. Saute properly so that the apples are well coated with brown sugar. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until the apples are soft but do not lose their texture. Remove the pan from the flame and let it cool for few minutes.
• 2. Preheat the oven at 325 degree Fahrenheit. Prepare an 8 inch round baking pan with a liner. Grease and flour it so that the cake releases from the baking pan easily.
• 3. In the meantime, combine all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl except the sugar.
• 4. In a separate bowl whip the eggs and combine all the wet ingredients to it. Add the remaining 2 tbsp brown sugar to this. When the apples are cooled add apples to the wet ingredients.
• 5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well so that the batter is well blended. (Do not overdo it).
• 6. Pour the batter into the baking pan and put it in the middle rack of the oven. Bake it for 25-30 minutes or until the fork comes out clean.
• 7. Serve hot, at room temperature or cold. Can be stored in refrigerator in an air tight container for 3 days.
