Apple honey cake

Apple Honey Cake

Ingredients

5 apples

1 tbsp vegan butter 

1 tbsp lemon juice

1/4 cup honey

3/4 cup almond flour

1/4 cup tapioca flour

2 eggs

1/4 cup cinnamon applesauce

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp vanilla

1/2 tsp sugar (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350º F. Grease a 9 inch round pie pan.

Cut the apples into slices and toss with the lemon juice. Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat and add the apples. Cover and cook for 10 minutes, stirring as needed.

Mix the rest of the ingredients (except the sugar) together.

When the apples are soft, stir in the honey and remove from heat. Add most of them to the batter (save about 12 slices). Pour the apple batter into the pie pan and shake the pan to distribute the batter evenly. Arrange the remaining apple slices on the top. Sprinkle 1/2 tsp sugar over the slices.

Bake for 1 hour.

Cool and serve.

Notes

I  used Miyoko's vegan butter.
Tastes great cold.

Nutty Coconut Granola Bars

 

Nutty Coconut Granola Bars

Ingredients

6 cups gluten-free rolled oats
4 Tablespoons butter, melted (I used Earth Balance)
1/4 cup rice bran oil
3/4 cup honey
1/4 cup Reed's Extra Ginger Brew
1/4 cup molasses
2 tbsp brown rice syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped pistachios
1/2 cup chopped almonds
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup coconut flakes

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350° F.

Stir the oil and melted butter into the oats. Spread the mixture on two baking sheets and toast for 15-20 minutes.

Combine the sugar, honey, molasses, brown rice syrup, and ginger beer in a saucepan on low heat and stir until it is all nicely melted together. Add the vanilla.

Combine all the other dry ingredients and toss together in a large bowl. Add the wet ingredients. Stir.

Spread everything out onto a well-greased cookie sheet, pressing down firmly and reshaping when necessary. Bake for 20 minutes or until the granola is golden brown. Let it cool.

Here's the fun part. Take a large knife and cut the granola bars into whatever sizes you want. You can eat the bits that break off or save them for cereal.

Eric demos the knife.
