Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1 cup chopped apples ((with skin))
  • 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp whole ground flaxmeal
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp unsweetened almond milk

Instruction

  • In a frying pan combine chopped apples and maple syrup. Cook on a medium flame for few minutes. Then add vanilla extract. Stir and let it cook until apples are soft and mushy. Turn off the flame and let it cool.
  • In the meanwhile, in a small bowl combine flax meal and water and stir. Let it soak until it thickens slightly.
  • Preheat oven at 325 degree Fahrenheit and prepare a round 8 inch baking pan by greasing it.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine almond flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Mix well with a spoon making sure there are no lumps and the dry ingredients are well mixed.
  • In another bowl spoon the cooked apples along with the syrup and mix in soaked flax meal. Stir vigorously until well blended.
  • Now, Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and roughly whip up the batter.
  • Lastly, when all the ingredients are well mixed pour in almond milk and whip with a spatula very nicely. The batter would be thick and sticky. Now, spoon the batter at the center of the baking pan and tap the pan on a flat surface to evenly spread the batter.
  • Place the baking pan in the middle rack of the oven and bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes test the cake with a toothpick. If the toothpick comes out dry shift the baking pan at the bottom rack of the oven and let it bake again for 5 minutes to get the nice brown color and firmer from the inside. (Do not over bake).
  • Take out the pan and let it cool. Serve warm or at room temperature. It pairs well with vanilla ice cream as well.
