• 2 apples, cored and cut into at least ¼-inch wedges (see note below)

  (Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, Honeycrisp, Jonagold, pink lady)
• 240 grams all purpose flour

  (2 cups)
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
• ¾ teaspoon allspice
• 2 large eggs
• 50 grams sugar

  (¼ cup)
• 396 grams honey

  (1 cup plus 2½ Tablespoons)
• 110 neutral oil (vegetable, safflower, sunflower, canola, grapeseed)

  (½ cup )
• 156 grams strong coffee, at room temperature

  (⅔ cup)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

• 1 Preheat oven to 350° F.
• 2 Spray a 9-inch springform pan with non-stick spray and line the bottom with a
  parchment paper round.
• 3 In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, brown sugar, salt and vanilla.
  Spread evenly into prepared pan.
• 4 Place apples in circular, decorative fashion over the brown sugar mixture,
  pressing them into the brown sugar mixture.
• 5 In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda,
  cinnamon and allspice. Set aside.
• 6 In a large mixing bowl, using the same whisk, whisk together the eggs and the
  sugar until fully combined. Whisk in the honey, oil, coffee, and vanilla.
• 7 Whisk dry ingredients into the wet ingredients just until fully combined. Do not
  overmix.
• 8 Slowly pour batter over the apples. (Pouring the batter too quickly may cause
  apples to float into the batter.) Bake for 55-60 minutes, until a toothpick
  pressed in the center comes out clean and the sides of the cake start to pull
  away from the pan.
• 9 Cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Use a metal spatula or knife to release the
  cake from the sides of the pan. Remove the side portion of the springform pan.
  Holding a serving dish over the cake, carefully invert the cake onto the serving
  dish. Remove the bottom of the pan and the parchment paper. Allow to cool
  completely before slicing.
