This apple cake recipe has to be one of my favourites!
The apples provide natural sweetness and almond meal is a great gluten free alternative, it is high in protein, vitamin E as well as being low in carbohydrates. This recipe works well as muffins.
I use rapadura sugar in this cake, rapadura sugar is a unrefined cane sugar which is dried at low temperatures to maintain nutritional properties. I love it as there is no other processing involved, unlike other sugars that can be highly processed, refined and bleached. I buy my Rapadura sugar here.
