Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 0.75 cups Coconut sugar
• 0.25 cups Arrowroot powder
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 3 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 cups Apples, peeled, cored, and diced
• 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut sugar, arrowroot powder, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until thoroughly combined.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and honey until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and gently mix until a batter forms.

Step 5

Fold in the diced apples and, if desired, the chopped walnuts or pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve. This cake pairs wonderfully with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce if desired.
