This apple cake is super easy to make. I wish I would have tried this earlier. A big thank you to my lovely reader who asked about an apple cake recipe that is without nuts.
It took me a while to find the perfect texture. Then I tried something that I have never used in baking – even though I’ve seen it listed as an egg alternative so many times.
It’s apple sauce, or in this case: homemade stewed apple. Last autumn we had soooo many apples, we made several big pots of stewed apple. And now I can say, stewed apple indeed makes for a very good vegan baking ingredient. It adds sweetness and helps to create that perfect fluffy texture that isn’t too dry. Yay!
That makes this apple cake not only vegan and gluten-free, but also oil-free and free from nuts. It is mostly sweetened with stewed apple. And it is super easy to make. My new favourite, yay 🙂
