Description

Ingredients

• For the sauce and apple layer:
• 3 tablespoons butter
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoon pure maple syrup
• 1 apple, thinly sliced
• For the cake:
• 1 stick butter, room temperature (8 tablespoons)
• 1 cup organic cane sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ¾ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon xanthan gum
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
• ⅛ teaspoon allspice
• ⅓ cup brown rice flour
• ⅓ cup fine white rice flour
• ⅓ cup gluten free oat flour
• ¼ cup potato starch
• 2 tablespoons tapioca starch
• ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
• Toppings:
• whipped cream
• cinnamon
• chopped pecans or walnuts

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8X8 pan generously with cooking spray. Lightly flour just the sides (not the bottom) with brown rice flour. Set aside.
• In a small microwavable bowl, combine 3 tablespoons butter, brown sugar, and pure maple syrup. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Remove and stir until liquidy. Microwave an additional 30 seconds if mixture does not liquify. Pour mixture into pan and spread evenly across the bottom.
• Thinly slice an apple and arrange slices over the sauce, overlapping halfway over each slice until entire bottom of pan is covered. Make sure to place apples all the way to the edges. There should be no visible sauce underneath, otherwise your batter will seep to the bottom and stick.
• To make the cake, cream together butter and sugar in a medium sized mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and mix until pale and smooth.
• Add cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, salt, nutmeg, and allspice and mix until evenly incorporated.
• Add brown rice flour, white rice flour, oat flour, potato starch, and tapioca starch and mix until combined. Add in applesauce and mix on low until smooth. Scrape down sides of the bowl and mix for an additional 30 seconds until well incorporated.
• Spoon batter evenly over top of sliced apples. Gently spread batter and smooth the top, being careful not to move the apples underneath.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until center is set and toothpick inserted into center comes out clean or with very few moist crumbs.
• Remove cake from oven and cool on cooling rack for 20 minutes. Carefully place serving platter over baking pan and quickly invert cake onto platter.
• Top cake with cinnamon and serve with whipped cream and chopped pecans or walnuts.
