Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Whisk together to blend evenly.

In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until creamy. Add the granular erythritol and continue beating until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Mix in the unsweetened applesauce until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix on a low speed until just combined.

Step 7

Fold in the finely diced apples using a spatula, ensuring they're distributed evenly throughout the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

Slice and serve as a delightful low-carb dessert option.
