Posted Sep 09, 2018, Updated May 22, 2024 Fall is my favorite season. While I definitely enjoy summer, I am always ready for the cooler temperatures, changing colors and fall recipes – including this gluten free apple cake. This paleo, gluten-free apple cake recipe comes together in no time and is packed full of nutritious ingredients! Eat it for breakfast, eat it for brunch, serve it warm for dessert smothered with some Paleo Vanilla Ice cream. You really can’t go wrong. This Paleo apple cake is irresistible! It’s perfectly sweet, seriously moist, and bursting at the seams with bits of apple goodness!
Gluten-Free Apple Cake: Ingredients & Substitutions
As always it is best to follow this gluten-free Paleo Cake recipe as it’s written, but here are a few potential substitutions!
Tapioca Flour. Arrowroot powder is an acceptable substitute for tapioca flour! You can also use corn starch but it’s not paleo. Coconut oil. Butter is a super yummy (but not dairy-free) substitute for coconut oil! Ghee is also a great substitution! Coconut sugar. Any granulated sugar works great in this recipe, just be sure it complies with your dietary needs. Pecans. I have used walnuts with delicious results as well!
