APPLE CINNAMON COFFEE CAKE WITH SALTED CARAMEL TOPPING
With the cooler days of Fall and Winter, apple desserts come to mind.  Do you miss apple coffee cake from your high-carb days?  I did too, until I made this recipe based on an old beloved recipe of mine from yesteryear. I think this low-carb version is even nicer!  Don't let the various stages of this desssert scare you off.  You can use your own favorite sweetener and you can skip the Caramel Topping or you can buy a commercial one.  Just as lovely served with whipped, sweetened cream.   However, that said, as long as you have the Caramel Topping ingredients, it is a  very simple and quick blend-and-use recipe.

Disclaimer:  I am 98% sure that the almond flour plus oat fiber alternative will produce good results in this recipe.

3 small apples, peeled, cored and sliced

1 tsp molasses (5 mL)

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).  Place apples in casserole dish with a little water and microwave 1 to 2 minutes to soften. Grease a 9 x 13-inch (23 x 33 cm) glass baking dish. In large bowl, combine Gluten-Free Bake Mix 2, OR Keto Bake Mix, OR alternative, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; stir together well.

In food processor or mixer bowl, process butter.  Add eggs, liquid sweetener, whipping cream, granulated sweetener and gelatin.  Process a couple of minutes.  Add dry ingredients; process.  Spread batter evenly in prepared baking dish. Push apple slices into batter (batter does not need to cover apples).  Sprinkle with Pecan Crumb Topping.  Bake 25 to 30 minutes, or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean, and surface is turning golden brown.  Do not over bake.
