Gluten-free Danish Apple Cake

A few weeks ago I was asked to blog an apple recipe in advance of the 2014 Killerton cider and apple festival which is taking place on the 18th and 19th October.

Killerton is an amazing National Trust property on the outskirts of Exeter and so I was delighted to be asked to help promote their event.

My lovely mum, who I mention a lot in my posts for providing me with delicious home-grown produce, has been giving me loads of cooked windfalls lately which have been disappearing out of the house in a matter of days, mainly in the form of crumble, using my quick and healthy recipe!

Up until now I haven’t had a chance to make them into anything else, including a favourite recipe of mine…which I cannot claim to have created!  This one is one that my mum has made for years and that never fails to satisfy!

P1050828_reducedDespite its name it is not a cake…I have no idea where the recipe came from originally, or why it is called a cake.  If anyone Danish is reading this perhaps you could let me know!

One thing I can be sure of is that it tastes amazing and is really easy to make.  It is also perfect for using up all the crusts that I have to cut off Roo’s sandwiches every morning and that I bung in the freezer for recipes like this!  It really is a ‘thrifty’ recipe!

What is your favourite apple recipe.  Feel free to tell me all about it in the comments section below!

Ingredients
  

  • 700 g stewed apples - about 1kg whole apples - cooking are best
  • 170 g fresh gluten-free bread crumbs - I use the crusts and grind them into crumbs in my food processor
  • 80 g demerara sugar
  • 60 g butter - you could use coconut oil here if you want it dairy free
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • Sugar to taste

Instructions
 

  • Mix the breadcrumbs with the sugar and fry over a medium heat in a frying pan with the butter or coconut oil until nice and crispy (but not burnt! Keep an eye on them).
  • Meanwhile, add the lemon juice and as much sugar as you like to the stewed apples. (I try to not add any sugar and let the sweetness come from the rest of the pudding).
  • Once the breadcrumb mixture is ready, place alternate layers of fried breadcrumbs and stewed apples into a glass.
  • If you can wait, chill and serve with cream (clotted would be good here!!). Otherwise tuck in while it is still warm...perhaps with some ice cream!

In return for this recipe I have been given free tickets to the Apple and Cider Festival.  See you there!

    Mmmm, this sounds delicious! I make a lot of crumble too so this will be a great alternative and sounds so simple to make. Enjoy the festival ๐Ÿ™‚

    It looks delicious, and Jumpy could have it with coconut oil instead of butter! Pinning for later. x

      29th September 2014 at 2:05 pm

      Hi Mel, I make it with the tasteless coconut oil since my husband doesn’t like coconut oil…that way we get the benefits of coconut oil too! It is delicious…let me know if Jumpy and the rest of the kids like it ๐Ÿ™‚

I'm a freelance recipe developer specialising in 'free from' food and spend many hours in my kitchen experimenting to create exciting healthy recipes that are all gluten-free & mainly dairy-free. In July 2016 I launched the world's first wholegrain, gluten-free and rice-free flour blends. In May 2018 I launched my first online programme to help people adapt to a gluten free life. I can be found at food festivals giving cookery demos and I love nothing more than teaching people how to cook and lead a positive wholesome life. Find out more about my story...
