Ingredients

• 2 medium, peeled and diced Apples
• 2 medium, peeled and diced Pears
• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cups Almond flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cups Honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups, melted Coconut oil
• 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square cake pan with coconut oil. Alternatively, line the pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Whisk together to blend evenly.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the unsweetened applesauce, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Stir until fully combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring slowly to avoid clumps. Mix until just incorporated, being careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the diced apples, pears, and chopped nuts (if using) until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 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 to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve the cake on its own, or pair it with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for added flair.
