Ingredients

  • 6 medium apples
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup sugar (1/2 cup is preferred by most people)
  • 3/4 cup raisins (or craisins)
  • 3/4 cup toasted almond
  • DOUGH
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons flax seed meal (ground up flax seeds)
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 2 cups flour (my Gluten-Free Flour MIX #53741 works well)
  • 1/2 cup oats (quick cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
  • ground cinnamon (optional)

Method

  • Wash and coarsely chop the apples (no need to peel), place in a LARGE bowl and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Some lemon juice may be poured on top of apples also.
  • Set Aside Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Mix the flour, oats, baking soda and baking powder in a medium bowl.
  • (add cinnamon if using.) In a separate bowl mix the eggs, flax meal, and oil, and extract together.
  • Add this mixture to the flour mixture.
  • Mix well.
  • Add this dough to the apples, along with the nuts and raisins.
  • MIX VERY WELL!
  • The apples WILL get incorporated into the dough.
  • Add a bit more flour if the mixture is extremely wet (but it WILL be wet).
  • Put into a large pan (15x10-inch pan works well) and smooth out the top so it flat.
  • Bake for around 1 hour (no longer though).
  • Top should look fairly browned.
  • Take out of the oven and Cool in the pan.
