Okay, think of how long it took you to make your last apple pie with a homemade crust.
If you’ve never made a home baked apple pie, I totally understand why.
Now, divide that by 5.
The result? Upside Down Apple Pinwheel Cake.
It tastes very similar to apple pie, but I didn’t have to go through all of the work to get it!
The top is ooeey and gooeey, it’s low in sugar, high in fiber, and I bet it would go fantastic with ice cream.
It could be served as a breakfast, or dessert. I’ve opted to make this our breakfast tomorrow morning with a fresh fruit salad and eggs + bacon for the boys.
- 2 medium organic gala or granny smith apples, cored and sliced – do not peel!
- 2 tablespoon sunflower oil
- 2 tablespoon coconut sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup sorghum flour
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- ¼ cup arrowroot starch/powder
- ¼ cup coconut/coconut sugar
- 1 tablespoon flax seed, ground
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon himalayan rock salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¾ cup + 2 tablespoon non-dairy milk – I used unsweetened original almond milk *see note
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup sunflower oil
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Preheat the oven to 375F and line the bottom of a 8-inch springform cake pan with parchment paper.
- Mix sunflower oil coconut sugar and cinnamon at the bottom of the prepared pan. Spread evenly with fingers to coat and set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
- In a separate bowl, combine wet ingredients.
- Drop wet into dry and beat the ingredients until the batter is silky and smooth. If the batter is stiff, add a little more milk to thin.
- Set aside the slices from one apple and place the remaining slices in the batter. Stir to combine.
- Place remaining apple slices at the bottom of your prepared pan in the shape of a pinwheel.
- Scoop the batter into your prepared pan and smooth it out with your hands.
- Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow to cool on wire rack for 15 minutes before removing from springform pan and serving.
Kevin and I may or may not have shared a slice this morning.
