Ingredients
2 cups almond flour
1-2 medium apples, cored and diced
¼ cup arrowroot powder
½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ cup melted coconut oil
1 large egg
½ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp kosher salt
½ cup raw honey
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tsp turbinado sugar, optional
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, kosher salt, baking soda, arrowroot powder, cinnamon, and ground ginger until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula until just combined; do not overmix.
Gently fold the diced apples into the batter until evenly distributed throughout.
Brush a 9×11-inch baking pan with coconut oil and pour the batter into it, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the turbinado sugar over the top if desired.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly browned. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out clean.
Remove from the oven and let cool before cutting into portions. Serve as desired.
Comments
Almond flour is the only real friction point—you'll need Harris Teeter or Kroger's specialty section rather than your usual Food Lion or Walmart run. The rest of the ingredients are accessible everywhere, and at roughly $1.50 to $2.00 per serving (driven by the almond flour and honey), it's reasonable for a homemade cake. The 45-minute stated time holds if you're organized, but factor in 10 minutes for apple prep and cooling before serving, so call it a full hour for a same-night dessert. It's unfussy enough for a weeknight and yields 12 pieces, making it forgiving for family portions or a potluck.
