Ingredients
- 1 3/4 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 (Earth Balance® Buttery Sticks)
- 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 1/4 cup 169 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 (slightly less time for the 10 inch pie or tart pan because the cake will be thinner).
- Serve with or without ice cream (dairy or non-dairy like So Delicious® Coconut Ice Cream!).
