Instructions

1 Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan lightly with butter. Line
with parchment paper [https://amzn.to/3Fp5Z99] and butter it.
2 Peel the apples if desired, or if your apples are not organically grown. Core
the apples, then cut into quarters.. Slice each quarter into thin slices, not
cutting all the way through. Tip: if your apples brown quickly, as with Granny
Smith, sprinkle a little lemon juice over them while you are mixing the
remaining ingredients. Or, wait to core and slice the apples until you have the
dry ingredients and the wet ingredients in their separate bowls at step 5.
3 In a medium bowl, mix together the gluten-free flour, almond flour, xanthan gum
if needed, baking powder [https://amzn.to/3I6xJ47], and baking soda
[https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078T4YT67/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B078T4YT67&linkCode=as2&tag=amim37-20&linkId=df7199415499b7ba92e1ffa60b00b154].
Set aside.
4 In the bowl of a stand mixer [https://amzn.to/3GnvM2W], in a mixing bowl with a
hand mixer, or in a large bowl by hand, cream together the butter, vanilla
[https://amzn.to/3qp2mfa], sugar, and salt until light and fluffy. Mix in the
lemon juice and zest until just combined.
5 With the mixer on low, add the eggs, one at a time.
6 With the mixer still on low, add half of the flour mixture, followed by the
milk, and then the remaining flour, mixing until all the dry ingredients are
mixed in. If your flour is quite dry, continue to add the milk by tablespoonfuls
- you may even need more than ½ cup total.
7 Pour batter in prepared pan, spreading it into an even layer with a spatula. The
batter should be about ¾ inches thick. Arrange apples on top, nesting them close
together into the batter. Bake the cake for 45-50 minutes, until the center
springs back when poked with a finger and a toothpick comes out clean or with a
few moist crumbs.
8 While the cake is still warm, brush apricot jam (or a lemon/honey mixture, see
note) over the top. Let cool for a few minutes then release the cake from the
springform pan. Let cool completely before sliding a knife
[https://amzn.to/3omYAV6] under the cake to remove the springform bottom.
9 Optional step: Once completely cool, dust the cake with powdered sugar just
before serving.
