Ingredients

• 5 medium Apples or pears (ripe, peeled, and cored)
• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 12 pieces Medjool dates (pitted)
• 1 cup Walnuts
• 0.5 cup Rolled oats
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Peel, core, and finely grate 4 of the apples or pears. Place the grated fruit in a large mixing bowl and toss with the lemon juice to prevent browning.

Step 2

Cut the remaining apple or pear into thin slices and set aside for use as a topping.

Step 3

In a food processor, combine the almond flour, pitted Medjool dates, walnuts, rolled oats, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, vanilla extract, and salt. Process until the mixture comes together into a sticky dough-like consistency.

Step 4

Transfer the fruit mixture to the bowl with the grated apples or pears. Use your hands to mix thoroughly, ensuring all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 5

Line a springform pan (8 or 9 inches) with parchment paper. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan to form the base and body of the cake.

Step 6

Decorate the top with the reserved thin apple or pear slices, arranging them in a circular or decorative pattern.

Step 7

Place the cake in the refrigerator and allow it to chill for at least 2 hours to firm up before slicing.

Step 8

Once chilled, remove the cake from the springform pan. Slice and serve cold. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
