• 0.5 cups Almond flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Unsalted butter (melted)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or springform pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy release.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Mix with a whisk or electric mixer until smooth.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the diced apples and chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar, if desired, before slicing and serving.
