Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a cake pan with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs. Add applesauce, melted coconut oil (or butter), and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Gently fold in the diced apples.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
- If desired, sprinkle chopped nuts or seeds on top of the batter for extra flavor and texture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve your delicious no-sugar-added apple cake!
This cake is moist, flavorful, and sweetened naturally by the applesauce and fresh apples. Enjoy!
