  7. Mix the liquid ingredients into the flour and mix until well combined.
  8. Sprinkle with the shredded apples and mix to combine evenly. Don’t over mix.
  9. Spoon batter into in your prepared pan. Use your rubber spatula to spread it out evenly.

  11. Bake for 30 – 35 minutes or until the center is just set and a tester inserted in center comes out clean.
  12. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before removing from the pan.
  13. Lift the sides of the parchment to remove from the pan and serve.
  14. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes

To line with parchment paper, use one sheet of paper to line 2 sides and the bottom. Oil the other 2 sides with coconut oil.  There is no sticking and it’s easy to remove the cake from the pan by grabbing the sides of the parchment paper and lifting it out.
