Nutrition per serving
Step 1/ 6
- 20 g rolled oats, glutenfree
- 20 g buckwheat flour
- 15 g virgin coconut oil
- 16⅔ ml maple syrup
- ⅛ tsp cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp baking powder
- coconut oil for greasing
- cold water (optional)
- salt
- food processor
- oven
- springform pan (20 cm/8 in.)
Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F and grease springform pan with coconut oil. For the crust, pulse oats in a food processor to a fine flour. Add buckwheat flour, coconut oil, maple syrup, some cinnamon, baking powder, and a pinch of salt, and pulse to form a crust. If the mixture is too dry, carefully add water a tbsp. at a time to make the crust moldable.
Step 2/ 6
- flour for work surface
- cookie cutter
- rolling pin
Use hands to press two-thirds of the dough evenly into springform pan along the base and border. Lightly flour work surface and remaining dough. Roll out, using a rolling pin. Use a cookie cutter to cut out decorative shapes, or roll out dough into a round the size of the pan, if you prefer.
Step 3/ 6
- ⅛ kg sour and firm apples
- cutting board
- knife
For the filling, peel and quarter apples. Remove core and slice.
Step 4/ 6
- ⅛ tsp cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp nutmeg
- ⅓ tbsp lemon juice
- ⅓ tbsp agave syrup
- ¼ tsp arrowroot flour
- ⅔ tsp coconut sugar, optional
- ⅛ tsp speculaas spice, optional
- salt
- large bowl
In a large bowl, thoroughly mix apple slices, some cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, agave syrup, arrowroot flour, coconut sugar, speculaas spice, and salt.
Step 5/ 6
Transfer filling to prepared springform pan and spread evenly.
Step 6/ 6
- cooling rack
- aluminum foil
Cover filling with either with cookie cut-outs or a round of dough. For the latter, pierce top with a fork to allow steam to escape while baking. Place in preheated oven and bake at 180°C/350°F for approx. 30 min. Cover with aluminum foil and press down lightly so that the apple juice rises to the top and soaks the entire cake. Bake for approx. 45 – 60 min. more, until golden brown. Allow to cool completely on a cooling rack before cutting. Enjoy!
