Total Time: 1 hr 25 mins Preparation Time: 25 mins Cook Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• Servings: 24
• 6 medium apples
• 1/4-1/2 cup sugar (1/2 cup is preferred by most people)
• 3/4 cup raisins (or craisins)
• 3/4 cup toasted almond
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons flax seed meal (ground up flax seeds)
• 1/2 cup oil
• 2 cups flour (my gluten-free flour mix #53741 works well)
• 1/2 cup oats (quick cooking)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
• ground cinnamon (optional)

Recipe

• 1 wash and coarsely chop the apples (no need to peel), place in a large bowl and sprinkle with sugar.
• 2 some lemon juice may be poured on top of apples also.
• 3 set aside preheat oven to 350°f.
• 4 mix the flour, oats, baking soda and baking powder in a medium bowl.
• 5 (add cinnamon if using.) in a separate bowl mix the eggs, flax meal, and oil, and extract together.
• 6 add this mixture to the flour mixture.
• 7 mix well.
• 8 add this dough to the apples, along with the nuts and raisins.
• 9 mix very well!
• 10 the apples will get incorporated into the dough.
• 11 add a bit more flour if the mixture is extremely wet (but it will be wet).
• 12 put into a large pan (15x10-inch pan works well) and smooth out the top so it flat.
• 13 bake for around 1 hour (no longer though).
• 14 top should look fairly browned.
• 15 take out of the oven and cool in the pan.
