When I was little, every fall we would pick baskets full of apples from the trees in the backyard. Those red apples would be transformed into delicious jars of cinnamon applesauce. Now that I have my own backyard, with even more apple trees, I’ve found even more uses for them.

If you’re like me, you may not have tons of time to make baked goods. What’s nice about this gluten free cake though, is that it’s pretty quick to throw together. It took me less than 10 minutes to get the recipe in the oven!

This apple spice cake is the perfect afternoon snack. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla or cinnamon ice cream to make it even more delicious. You can even grab a piece for a quick breakfast treat. If you’re looking for a dairy free version, use a dairy free butter substitute instead of the grassfed butter. There really is no wrong way to eat it just like my favorite gluten free stuffing!

My favorite way to enjoy this seasonal snack though is with a warm cup of herbal tea. Right now I’m really enjoying spiced chai (I’ve been drinking dirty chai but the gallon all week). I’ve also started making an herbal coffee substitute blend with chicory, dandelion root and milk thistle. Both of these drinks taste amazing with just a little bit of raw honey and a swirl of cream.  Just add a good book and a quiet seat under a tree , and I’m in heaven!
