Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • ¼ cup avocado oil
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice or cider vinegar
  • 2 ½ cups almond flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 large or two small apples peeled and sliced + 1 Tbsp avocado oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line an 8-inch springform pan or an 8-inch square cake pan with parchment paper. Or spray a cake pan with cooking oil if you don't have parchment paper.
  • Stir in the chopped apples until they are well-incorporated into the cake batter.
  • Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan. If desired, sprinkle the cake batter with sliced almonds (or more chopped apple).
  • Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the cake is golden-brown and tests clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before releasing it from its mold. Transfer the cake to a cutting board. Slice the cake and serve!
