Cakes, Desserts

it’s cozy, it’s seasonal, it’s all-around absolutely delicious, so you have to try this delicious recipe! while it’s perfect for noshing on during the week, the cake is so pretty and would make a fabulous dessert option for the holiday season.

at this point, i’m not even sure what my favorite part is. it could be the caramelized cinnamon apples on top.

it could also be the light and fluffy, yet somewhat dense cake that’s perfectly baked and flavored with fall.

hmm, i’ll let you decide your favorite part after you try this goodness, and you can let me know :).

so Cozy Vegan Apple Cake is not gluten-free but you’re welcome to try it with gluten-free all purpose flour that’s a 1:1 substitute.

i have not tried making it gluten-free, so i can’t guarantee it will come out as good as my version, especially in terms of texture.

also, as far as other substitutes, i’ll list them later in the post!

the apples on top have to be cooked a bit on the stove top to achieve the level of caramelization that’s ideal.

you just need a few your favorite apples and i recommend either gala or honeycrisp, but any will work!

also, you need vegan butter, cinnamon and maple syrup. these ingredients will create the best caramelized texture, but we don’t want to cook the apples too long.

they only need 8-10 minutes because the apples will also bake in the oven for about 55 minutes, so they will be perfectly tender!

here’s everything you need to make Cozy Vegan Apple Cake

all purpose organic unbleached flour

baking powder

apple juice

maple syrup

vegan sour cream or yogurt

olive oil

brown sugar

apples

vegan butter

cinnamon

easy enough right? you probably have a lot of the ingredients in your house already, especially if you love apples!

as far as substitutes, you can sub the vegan butter with coconut oil and the olive oil can be subbed with avocado oil or liquid coconut oil.

also, the apple juice can be subbed with dairy free milk and the vegan yogurt or sour cream with apple sauce or mashed banana.

just keep in mind i have NOT tried these out but based on my baking experience, these subs should be fine :).
