Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ½ cup almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 1 cup apple butter
- 1 cup diced apples (about 1 medium apple)
- ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a separate bowl, mix the applesauce, almond milk, and vegetable oil until well combined.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir gently until just mixed. Do not overmix!
- Grease an 8-inch square or round baking pan. Pour half of the batter into the pan.
- Spoon the apple butter and diced apples over the batter, spreading them evenly. Top with the remaining batter.
- In a bowl, mix rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted coconut oil until crumbly. Sprinkle over the top of the cake.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean (moist crumbs are okay due to the apple butter). Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving!
