Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cup (approximately 165 grams) fresh cranberries (feel free to add more, especially if using a larger pan)
- 1 apple peeled, cored & diced (I like Gala or Fuji)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (or coconut palm or maple sugar)
- 1/4 cup apple cider
- 1 Tbs. orange zest (optional)
- 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 2 eggs (or favorite egg substitute like 2 Tbs. flaxseed meal steeped in 6 Tbs. warm water)
- 3/4 cup granulated cane sugar (or Swerve or Monkfruit)
- 1/4 cup butter or non-dairy alternative melted
- 1/4 cup “natural” (unsweetened) applesauce
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup plain yogurt (almond, coconut, soy, etc. like Silk® or So Delicious® OR sour cream, dairy or non-dairy
- 1 ¼ (169) cup (grams) gfJules® All Purpose Gluten Free Flour
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/4 tsp. sea salt
- Sugar-cinnamon mixture or demerara sugar for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325° F (static) 300° F (convection).
- Wash and remove stems from cranberries. Combine in a medium-sized bowl with the apples, brown sugar, apple cider, orange zest and cinnamon. (Note: in the video, the apples were added separately; either way is fine.)
- Pour into a 9 x 9 square baking pan or a 10-inch pie plate or tart pan and set aside.
- Beat eggs and granulated sugar until light, approximately 1-2 minutes. Add butter, applesauce, vanilla and yogurt, beating until well mixed. Stir in the flour, baking soda and salt; beat until fully integrated and smooth.
- Pour flour batter over the fruit mixture; sprinkle with sugar-cinnamon mixture, if desired.
- Bake for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick or skewer inserted into the center comes out clean (bake for 30 minutes for the 10 inch pie or tart pan because the cake will be thinner).
- Serve with or without ice cream.
