Easy Gluten Free Apple Upside Down Cake
This gluten free upside down apple cake is a sinch to make, but impressive enough for company. You can also easily make this dairy free or vegetarian by subbing coconut oil for the ghee, and apple sauce for the kefir (or find coconut milk kefir-yum!). Not down with nuts? That’s cool too. Just replace almond flour with more brown rice flour or equal amount of cassava flour. The texture has a nice crumbly feel, but at the same time super moist from the healthy fat of your choice–olive oil, coconut oil, kefir or apple sauce. Just watch your oven. I’ve seen this take as little as 30 minutes to bake, all the way to 45 mins if your oven isn’t calibrated. Either way you slice it, enjoy!
