All You Can Eat Gluten Free Apple Cake

If you are anything like me, when there’s a cake in the house, you just can’t leave it alone. Especially when it’s a gluten free apple cake. One of my all time favorites! Since I know myself, baking a big cake when it’s just the two of us, is not a wise choice. And because I know I won’t give it a break until the cake it’s finished, I learned to bake in smaller cake pans. If you are a cake addict like me, get yourself a 5 inch pan and use the measurements below to limit the damage. If instead you are more disciplined, simply double the doses and go for a traditional full size pan! In any event, the good thing about this healthy gluten free recipe is that is very low in sugar, has barley any fat and, like always, it’s gluten free!
