Gluten Free Honey Apple Cake

  • Author: Michelle
  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x
  • Diet: Gluten Free

Ingredients

Scale

For the cake

  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 1/4 cup apple cider
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil, melted
  • 3 tbsp apple sauce
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda

For the topping

  • 2 cups honey crisp apple, peeled and chopped into a large dice
  • 1/3 cup apple cider
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp arrowroot starch
  • 1 tsp water

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F and line a 9” round baking pan with round parchment paper, and grease well.
  2. Using a large bowl, combine the eggs, coconut sugar, apple cider, coconut oil, apple sauce, and honey. Whisk well to combine. In a separate bowl, combine the GF all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg.  Pour the dry ingredients into the bowl with the wet ingredients and stir well, folding into a cake batter.
  3. Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan. Transfer to the oven and bake for 23-25 minutes or until baked through. Set aside and carefully transfer to a cooling rack.
  4. While the cake cools, prepare the topping by combining the apples, apple cider, honey, and cinnamon in a small pot. Set over medium-low heat and allow to simmer on low for about 7-8 minutes, stirring often. The apples should be fork tender, and the liquid should be mostly reduced. Combine the arrowroot starch with the water in a small bowl and whisk well. Add the slurry to the apple mixture and stir to combine. This will thicken up the remainder of the liquid to more of a honey consistency. If your topping is still too runny for your liking, add a second batch of slurry. 
  5. Allow the topping to cool slightly before adding it on top of the cake. Slice into 8 slices (or more, or less) to serve!
