Thank you Lydia!
This looks yummy! I love trying different apple cake recipes. My sister recently gave me a German apple cake recipe which is great. I think I’m going to have to make your apple cake recipe too! I love that you give the cake natural sweetness with almond milk.
Thank you Grace! The malt and almond milk combination added some nice flavour and natural sweetness to the cake. Try it and let me know. I am already thinking about another apple cake (a special apple pie) recipe that I would like to elaborate for next time…Probaly I’ll post it at the end of this week, if I manage.
This looks like a very lovely recipe which I am going to try! However, the honey and barley malt used are not low enough glycemic for me. I will be substituting agave in the same amounts specified for the honey and malt. I am so glad that you have pictured the liner draped over the pan and not cut to size! This sure will save me a lot of time in the future and an excellent way to lift the cake out of the pan!!
Hi Ruthie! Thank you so much!! I am glad that you like this recipe! Of course you can use agave syrup, if you prefer….I used honey and barley also for their flavours, but agave syrup is perfectly fine! Yes, I bent the oven paper around the tin, however it might burn a little inside the oven (it depends on the oven and the temperature you use), so you might have to cut the edges slightly.
Could you please give me the USA measurements instead of grams and ml.
Am I right in using 3/4 cup spelt flour, 3 1/2 tablespoons of milk, and a lb of apples?
ok, i’ll try…
use 1/4 cup of milk (roughly 60 ml) use a little less than 1 pound/16 ounces of apples (1 pound is 450 g)
and a little less than 1 cup of flour (because 1 cup is 125 g)
Thank you.
I will be making it tomorrow. I will be using apple, cranberries, blueberries & cherries frozen pie filling and non-fat goat milk instead of almond.
Should I defrost the filling or can I use it frozen?
Sounds delicious! I would defrost it first and then let it drain a little…because frozen fruits contains much more water, so you might also need less liquid (milk) in the cake dough.
I forgot to tell you that I use organic apples, cherries, organic agave, organic eggs (egg whites replace whole eggs) organic extra virgin olive oil, organic spelt flour.
I will let you know how it comes out. If it comes out looking good, let me know how to send you a .jpg picture.
I also use organic ingredients. Please send me a picture and let me know 🙂
Hi. Can stewed apples and goats milk be used in this recipe?
Hi Jan! Sorry for the delay in reply 🙂 You don’t need to cook the apples before, the fruit will cook with the other ingredients. You also need the apple juice to keep the cake moist. I am not sure about the goat milk, as it might be a little bit strong in flavour. Let me know if you try it 🙂
