Versunkener Apfelkuchen gluten-free

Because it's been a few years since I'd made an apfel kuchen for my German-loving sons, I thought perhaps something like that would be the perfect recipe to highlight September's #ImprovCookingChallenge ingredients APPLES & HONEY. (The Improv Cooking Challenge is a once-a-month blogger recipe challenge lead by Nichole from Cookaholic Wife. You are welcome to join us for the monthly linky party...)
While googling honey + apfelkuchen I came across "sunken apple and honey cake" by Smitten Kitchen. I thought it looked beautiful and would be easy to adapt to an almond flour recipe to keep it gluten free.



The cake tasted wonderful, according to two of my four taste-testers. (One didn't like the honey flavor and the other dislikes anything that has the "eggy taste")

I thought it perfect for breakfast or brunch!

    I love how beautiful that cake turned out with the sliced apples. I can also believe that the almond flour would have made this cake even more delicious than it looks.

      Thank you, Wendy. I love that almond flour adds protein & fiber as well as good fat to make this "healthy" enough for some eating plans. (especially with use of honey instead of processed sugar...)

      hahaha! German is NOT my favorite language. I have no idea why my sons are so enamored with it & the culture. But this cake makes it all worthwhile. :)

      Thank you, Alicia. If your husband had a grandma that baked, this cake would probably bring back memories. If not, it can be time to start a new tradition. :D
