This healthy apple cake has become a staple in my kitchen during the cooler months. It uses wholesome ingredients to create a treat that is dense and full of warm cinnamon flavor without feeling too heavy.

Most people love this recipe because it comes together in just a few minutes. If you want to make it extra special, serve it slightly warm with a small dollop of Greek yogurt or a drizzle of honey on top.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
  • 3/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups peeled and chopped apples

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a standard cake pan.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

  3. 3

    In a separate bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

  4. 4

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined.

  5. 5

    Fold in the chopped apples until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

  6. 6

    Pour the mixture into your prepared cake pan and spread it out evenly.

  7. 7

    Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  8. 8

    Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

💡 Tips

Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. You can also freeze individual slices wrapped in plastic for a quick treat later. If you prefer a crunch, sprinkle some chopped walnuts over the top before putting the cake in the oven.
