Author: Keith Snow

This apple cake can be gluten-free or not, really no discernible difference in taste or texture. You need very tart firm apples and you can use multiple varieties. For gluten-free just substitute almond flour.

• 3 large apples, cored, peeled, cut into chunks
• 2 farm-fresh eggs
• 3/4 c organic heavy cream
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 c sugar
• 8 tbs melted butter
• pinch cinnamon
• pinch kosher salt
• either 1 cup AP flour or gluten-free flour
• Equipment Needed: buttered springform pan

Instructions

1. preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Add eggs, cinnamon, sugar to a bowl, whisk until well combined, and starting to become pale in color.
3. Add vanilla and salt, mix.
4. Add the apples to this batter, fold them in.
5. In a separate work bowl add flour, then half the apple batter and fold well to combine, add remaining batter, fold that in then add to buttered springform pan or nonstick straight-sided round pan that is about 2 inches deep.
6. Carefully add the cream to the top.
7. Place into the oven on a sheet pan and cook for 50-60 minutes, edges should be dark golden brown and the top should start to become a tad golden brown. A toothpick should come out clean.
