Today I was creative in the kitchen for a change and feeling in the mood for an apple pie - or an apple cake - I decided to combine the two!
I made a gluten free pastry crust using a mix of gluten free flour and almond flour with a spoonful of icing/confectioners sugar and egg to bind.
After baking it blind I filled it with a 2 egg Victoria Sponge mix and then decoratively arranged thinly sliced apples.
Tips:
~ I glazed the apples (I used McIntosh variety) with a drizzle of warm/lightly diluted maple syrup followed by a sprinkle of brown sugar
~ I baked blind for 20 mins followed by 30-40 mins with the cake mix and apples (all at 350f)
~ You can use your own favourite pie crust recipe (or buy one) and any 2 egg cake mix that works for you
Enjoy!
