• 130 g Erythritol (or sugar of choice)
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1.5 tsp gingerbread spice ((optional))
• 240 ml dairy-free milk (of your choice)

• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 5-6 drops of rum flavoring ((optional))
• 400 g peeled apples (chopped/ sliced)

Preparación

1. 1

   I recommend using my metric measurements in grams for exact results. Also, watch the video for easy visual instructions.First, preheat the oven to 356 °F/180 °C (top/bottom heat), and line an 8-inch (20 cm) round spring-form cake tin with parchment paper or grease it well.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, weigh/ measure all the ingredients and wash, peel, and chop three small apples, and slice the remaining apple.

3. 3

   Then, add all the dry ingredients to a large bowl and mix with a spoon.

4. 4

   Add the wet ingredients and mix with a spatula until combined.

5. 5

   Fold in the apple chunks, then transfer the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing over the top with a spatula. Then top it with the apple slices.You can spread them in a fan pattern, other pattern, or randomly place them – it’s up to you.

6. 6

   Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the top has browned, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (a few crumbs are fine).

7. 7

   Finally, leave the cake to cool on a wire rack, then remove it from the cake pan. Optionally, sprinkle it with powdered sugar (or powdered Erythritol), slice, and enjoy!
