This is a variation of the Paleo Cinnamon Coffee Cake I posted a few weeks ago! I added some almond essence and sliced apples to make this Paleo Cinnamon Apple Coffee Cake!

Ingredients

• ¼ teaspoon celtic sea salt
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ cup coconut oil
• ½ cup honey or maple syrup
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tsp almond essence (optional)
• 2 apples, thinly sliced (I prefer a tart apple like Granny Smith which is also great for baking)

Topping

• ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
• ¼ cup coconut sugar (or maple syrup also works great)
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• ½ cup sliced almonds (optional)
• To make topping, combine coconut oil, coconut sugar, cinnamon, and sliced almonds in a bowl

Directions

1. Grease a 9-inch round baking dish with coconut oil and dust with almond flour
2. In a food processor, combine almond flour, salt, and baking soda
3. Pulse in coconut oil, honey, eggs and almond essence
4. Spread the batter into prepared baking dish
5. Place sliced apples into the batter
6. Brush topping over cake batter
7. Bake at 350° for 25 to 35 minutes
8. Cool and serve
