Apple Cinnamon Cake is an easy, delicious and moist cake using canned pie filling. Serve as dessert or a breakfast coffee cake!

This cake is the classic combination of sweet, spice and everything nice! It’s perfect served straight from the oven, but also delicious with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top! You can also find me eating a leftover slice in the morning, warmed up with an extra large cup of coffee! The possibilities are endless!

How To Make Apple Cinnamon Cake

• This cake is so easy to make {maybe too easy} and if you already follow a grain and gluten free diet, you’ll most likely have all the ingredients on hand, ready to go!
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, tapioca flour, salt, baking powder and cinnamon.
• In a small mixing bowl, melt butter and then beat in eggs.
• Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix well till batter forms.
• Add in apple pie filling (make sure you read the ingredients on your can of pie filling, all fillings aren’t created equal. I recommend THIS brand.) and mix till well incorporated.

• Grease an 8×8 inch baking dish (I use coconut oil) and then pour batter into pan.

• Bake cake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
• While cake is baking, prepare glaze to top the cake.
• In a small bowl, mix together powdered sugar, milk and vanilla. You can use a hand mixer, but I just mixed with a spoon until smooth.
• When cake is done, remove from oven and top with glaze.

• Serve warm {preferably with a mimosa, trust me on that}!

• If serving with brunch, I recommend pairing it with egg casserole or breakfast meatballs!
