Need a dessert that is a little showy without being hard to make, that's not too sweet and that showcases fresh apples? The list of ingredients looks long but German Apple Cake is an easy and tasty recipe - and it’s gluten-free.
I’ve glazed this cake with a honey/lemon mixture as an alternative to the jar of apricot jam. Stir 1 tablespoon of honey with 1 tablespoon lemon juice until the honey is dissolved. Brush this onto the cake in place of the apricot jam.
We have reduced the amount of sugar from recipes we've tried. The ¼ cup of coconut sugar gives a very mildly sweet cake, even with the jam or honey brushed on top. Increase it if you prefer conventionally sweet baked goods.
