    Be sure to keep this in an airtight container to prevent it from drying out - this happens quicker for gluten-free baked goods!

    FAQ

    Can I use regular butter & sour cream if I'm not dairy-free?

    Yes, if you're not dairy-free you can use full dairy options.

    What dairy-free sour cream do you recommend?

    I personally love using Tofutti brand or Kite Hill.

    Ingredients Method

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 eggs
    • ½ cup non-dairy sour cream
    • ½ cup non-dairy butter
    • ¼ cup sugar
    • ½ cup brown sugar
    • 2 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 ½ cup gluten-free flour
    • 2 medium apples diced
    For the cinnamon swirl
    • ⅓ cup brown sugar
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
    For the crumble topping
    • ⅓ cup almond flour
    • ¼ cup brown sugar
    • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
    • 3 tablespoon coconut oil room temp.

    Method
     

    1. Preheat oven to 350℉ and line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper and set aside.
    2. In a bowl using a hand mixer or in a stand mixer, whip the butter and sugars until fluffy. Add in the eggs, sour cream and spices. Whip again until combined.
    3. Mix in the baking soda, baking powder, and gluten-free flour until well combined. Fold in the apples.
    4. Spread half of this batter into the prepared pan. Mix together the cinnamon swirl ingredients and sprinkle this evenly over the first half of the batter. Top with the remaining batter.
    5. In a bowl and using your hands, roughly combine the topping ingredients until you have a crumble. Crumble this over top of the batter. Bake for about 35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool before slicing and enjoying!
