Easy Gluten-Free Apple Cake...Perfect For Fall!

Ingredients:

• 3 eggs
• 1 cup sugar (I used Trader Joe's Raw Cane Sugar)
• 1 1/2 cups almond meal (I used Trader Joe's)
• 1/2 cup milk (admittedly, I used Trader Joe's organic Half and Half)
• 2 1/2 tbsp softened butter
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 3 peeled and cored apples, cut into 1/8 in slices (I used Granny Smith)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Butter and flour a 8 X 8 inch glass dish, tapping the flour to remove the excess
3. Mix the eggs and sugar in a mixing bowl, on a medium setting, for 5 minutes
4. Gradually add the flour, milk and butter, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition.  When each ingredient is added, mix on medium setting for 5 minutes
5. Add the baking powder and vanilla; mix an additional 2 minutes on medium setting
6. Pour batter into dish, and arrange the apple slices in whatever pattern you'd like, on top
7. Bake for 50 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean
8. Remove from oven and let cool 10 minutes
9. Serve immediately or refrigerate overnight (pairs nicely with vanilla ice cream)
