Servings: 8 ramekins
Ingredients
Cake
- 1 cup brown or coconut palm sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetable or coconut oil
- 1/2 cup apple butter or apple sauce
- 3 eggs or substitute
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups gfJules™ All Purpose Gluten Free Flour
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 2 cups grated carrots
- 1 cup grated zucchini squash
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup chopped cranberries
- 1/2 cup finely chopped peeled apple
Topping
- 8 thinly sliced apple rings
- 1/4 cup whole cranberries
- 1/2 cup gfJules™ All Purpose Gluten Free Flour
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans optional
- 1/4 cup brown or coconut palm sugar
- 3 Tbs. melted butter or non-dairy alternative
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- Whip together sugar, oil and apple butter. Add eggs and vanilla, beating until fully integrated. Stir in gfJules™ Flour and baking soda.
- Grate carrots and zucchini using a fine shredding disc in a food processor. Chop pecans and cranberries, then peel and dice the apple. Stir those ingredients into the batter until evenly distributed.
- Oil 8 four-inch ramekins. Place one apple ring in the bottom of the ramekin and 1 or 2 whole cranberries in the center.
- In a small bowl, stir together gfJules Flour, pecans, sugar and melted butter with a fork. Sprinkle topping onto the apple rings, then spoon batter into ramekins, filling 2/3 full.
- Bake for 30 minutes, more or less, depending on the size of your ramekins. Test with a toothpick inserted into the center of each ramekin — when it comes out clean, the cakes are done.
- Cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack, then invert to remove from ramekins before serving.
