Ingredients

For the cinnamon apples:

  • 3/4 cup (90 g) diced apple (about medium 1 apple)
  • 1 teaspoon (2 g) cinnamon powder

For the cake:

  • 2 cups (240 g) almond flour
  • 1/4 cup (28 g) coconut flour
  • 1/3 cup (80 g) coconut sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (2 g) cinnamon powder
  • 1 teaspoon (2 g) baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2 g) baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon (3 g) salt
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened applesauce
  • 4 Tablespoons (60 ml) unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) melted coconut oil

For the crumb topping:

  • 4 Tablespoons (30 g) almond flour (or almond meal)
  • 1 Tablespoon (15 g) coconut sugar
  • 2 teaspoon (10 ml) melted coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F (177 C). Line an 8-inch x 8-inch (20 cm x 20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the diced apple and toss with 1 teaspoon (2 g) cinnamon powder. Set aside until ready to use.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk to combine the almond flour, coconut flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. One ingredient at a time, use a rubber spatula to fold in the applesauce, melted coconut oil, and then the almond milk until completely combined and the cake batter is smooth.
  5. In a small bowl, mix to combine the crumb topping ingredients until a fine crumb forms.
  6. Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking pan and use a rubber spatula to evenly spread the batter in the pan. Evenly scatter the prepared cinnamon apples over the batter and sprinkle the crumb topping over the apples.
  7. Place the baking pan in the oven and bake for 25 to 35 minutes until completely baked and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Remove the coffee cake from the oven and let cool completely in the baking pan before cutting and serving.
