TO MAKE
Apple Cake
Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9” round cake pan with a circle parchment paper or grease it thoroughly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cassava flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Add the maple syrup, ghee, eggs, and vanilla and whisk in to make a smooth batter.
Fold the apples into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
Place the cake on a serving plate and pour the Salted Caramel Glaze over the top. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
This is delicious served warm or at room temperature.
Salted Caramel Glaze
In a small set over medium heat, bring the maple syrup and non-dairy milk to a simmer. Continue to simmer until the mixture easily coats the back of a metal spoon. Turn off the heat and whisk in the salt and vanilla.
Let cool slightly before pouring over the Apple Cake.
