Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

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)

Steps:

Wash and coarsely chop the apples (no need to peel), place in a LARGE bowl and sprinkle with sugar.
Some lemon juice may be poured on top of apples also.
Set Aside Preheat oven to 350°F.
Mix the flour, oats, baking soda and baking powder in a medium bowl.
(add cinnamon if using.) In a separate bowl mix the eggs, flax meal, and oil, and extract together.
Add this mixture to the flour mixture.
Mix well.
Add this dough to the apples, along with the nuts and raisins.
MIX VERY WELL!
The apples WILL get incorporated into the dough.
Add a bit more flour if the mixture is extremely wet (but it WILL be wet).
Put into a large pan (15x10-inch pan works well) and smooth out the top so it flat.
Bake for around 1 hour (no longer though).
Top should look fairly browned.
Take out of the oven and Cool in the pan.
