Add the crunchy almond topping to the mix, and you will find every slice irresistibly addictive.

Cooking with apples is super easy! In this recipe, I used two varieties, Granny Smith and Honeycrisp. Both apples are great for baking because Granny Smith is a juicy tart apple, and Honeycrisp is a sweet crispy apple.

In this gluten-free apple sponge cake recipe, the two varieties will give you the perfect texture with a balanced sweet and tart flavour. 

In eastern Europe, this dessert is a staple in most homes. The cake is made simply with plenty of fresh apples, baked in a lightly sweetened sponge cake and finished with crunchy almond topping. 

All in all, this is a simple gluten-free apple dessert recipe. You will find that this melt-in-your-mouth coffee cake can be served for breakfast, as an anytime snack, or as a dessert.

This apple recipe is all about the simplicity of ingredients. However, the texture and flavour are second to none. You will need fresh apples and a few sliced almonds to start this recipe. Most likely, you have all the other ingredients in your gluten-free pantry.

This recipe has been in my family for many years. All I had to do was create a gluten-free version. Since this apple recipe is known to be simple, I wanted to keep it that way. To do this, I used only a gluten-free flour blend. 

With some other minor changes, this apple sponge cake came out just as I remember it, DELICIOUS!
