  • Author: Katja from Savory Lotus

Ingredients

Scale

FOR TOPPING:

  • 1 large apple, peeled and sliced into 24 slices
  • 1 and 1/2 tbsp coconut sugar (like this)
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom powder (like this)

FOR CAKE:

  • 1 and 1/2 cups almond flour (I use THIS blanched brand)
  • 1/2 cup arrowroot powder (like this)
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
  • 1 cup of apple, peeled, cored, and chopped into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup butter, ghee, or coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ACV (I use THIS raw brand)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350’F.  Line 10 inch cast iron skillet with parchment paper and oil liberally.
  2. To make topping, combine apple slices, coconut sugar, and cardamom in a small bowl.  Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, arrowroot, baking soda, salt, and cardamom. Fold in apple cubes.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together eggs, maple syrup, fat of choice, vanilla, and apple cider vinegar.  Add wet to dry and mix until thoroughly incorporated.
  5. Pour batter into prepared skillet and arrange apple slices over in a circular pattern. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until golden and center is firm.  ENJOY!

Notes

  • If you don’t have a 10 inch cast iron skillet, you can make this is a 10 inch spring form pan.  Bake time will be a bit less ~ 30-35 minutes.
