Pastel de manzana (receta saludable)

Ingredientes

• 14 oz / 400g red apples such as fuji or gala - approx 2 medium apples
• 2 large eggs
• 1/3 cup melted coconut oil
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/4 cup milk - I’ve used soy milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups rolled oats or oat flour
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon powder
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• 1/4 cup walnuts - finely chopped
• Small handful of rolled oats
• Dusting of icing sugar - optional

Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350℉ / 175℃. Peel the apples and cut them into small cubes (2 cups once they're chopped)

2. 2

   In a large bowl add the eggs and whisk together, then add the remaining wet ingredients - coconut oil, honey, milk and vanilla and whisk together

3. 3

   Blend the rolled oats in a blender to create a fine oat flour - giving it a shake half way to ensure the oats are blended well (work in batches if needed)

4. 4

   Add the cinnamon, oat flour and a pinch of salt to the bowl, and lightly whisk together until combined ensuring there is no flour left at the bottom

5. 5

   Add the baking powder and chopped apples and gently fold them through using a rubber spatula

6. 6

   Pour the batter into a circle cake tin lined with parchment paper (8 inches / 20cm in diameter) and spread the top evenly - you can also lightly tap on the table a couple of timesGarnish the top with a sprinkle of rolled oats and the chopped walnuts

7. 7

   Bake for 40-45 minutes depending on your oven strength - checking the middle is cooked through with a toothpick (it should not come out wet)

8. 8

   Allow it to rest for 15 minutes in the cake tin, then at least another 20 minutes on a wire cooling rack before slicing to ensure the middle is set Optionally dust with icing sugar, slice and enjoy your delicious Apple Cake with a cup of coffee or scoop of vanilla ice cream!
