Number Of Ingredients 19

3 tablespoons ground flax seeds
1/4 cup hot water
1/2 cup sorghum flour
1/2 cup rice flour
1/2 cup organic coconut flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon guar gum
1/2 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup coconut oil
1 cup coconut milk
2 teaspoons bourbon vanilla extract
2 apples, peeled and chopped small
1/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1 apple, peeled and sliced medium-thick
1 teaspoon raw sugar

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 F and line the bottom of a 10" spring form pan.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flaxseed and hot water. Set aside.
Whisk together flours, starch, guar gum, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spice. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat together flax mixture, brown sugar, oil, coconut milk and vanilla until the batter is smooth.
Fold in the chopped apples and coconut.
Spread in the prepared pan and lightly press sliced apple pieces in a decorative pattern on top.
Sprinkle the top of the cake with raw sugar.
Bake 55 - 60 minutes. Do not open the oven door before 45 minutes.
Cool in the pan twenty minutes, then loosen the sides of the cake from the pan and remove the ring. Cool completely before slicing (although this is delicious gently reheated).
