The combination of almond flour and coconut flour is what helps make the texture of this cake so great. What one flour lacks, the other one makes up for. It’s best not to substitute these flours as it will drastically change the texture. Be sure to use blanched almond flour, not almond meal.
The eggs are critical to making this recipe work since they are needed as a binder with the coconut flour. They also make the cake fluffy. It’s best not to substitute them.
Ingredients
If you are just starting a low carb diet/lifestyle you may feel confused with which low carb flours to use. You may never have used any of them before and how to use them properly can be daunting. Low carb flours do not behave like wheat flour, and how to use them in your old regular high carb recipes is a common question. Of course you may also be interested, or want to know more about them. If that is the case then Libby at 'Ditch The Carbs' site has a very good guide, and you can read it here

Definitely have to make this. I get so many apples delivered to me by the Dept. of Aging and can't eat them raw. Just can't digest them even without the skin. But cooked or baked I have no problem.
This looks delicious! I'm adding to my Sunday dessert recipe ideas :)
Yummy and scrumptious!!!
Thank you Jan! 🍎

Hello,
The apple cake looks delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Have a great day!

That looks so AWESOME!
Apple cake! It is time to make that! Used to make it when kids were young, called it "Sunday night" frittata. They enjoyed it. Yours is different, but yummy.
Girl, you always have the best recipes! That looks amazing! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
Looks so good!
Looks good!
This looks delicious. A good time of the year for apples
This looks delicious. We do bake apple pies and upside down cakes every so often. Especially now with a good crop from our apple trees. Need to look up some pear recipes too.
God bless.
interesting , it looks yummy too :)
Seems delicious to satisfy the sweet diabetic tooth!
i love to bake!! it will soon be apple season and this is a great recipe, so pretty too!!!
A couple more weeks until apple season begins. And apple cake is on my to make list!
Ohh this sounds so good and looks even better. A beautiful presentation.
This cake is so beautiful in appearance. My husband does not like anything coconut so I never buy coconut flour or oil, but I'd like to try this cake with similar ingredients--I think I'll try walnut oil and ground walnuts instead. I like an apple and walnut combination.
That indeed reads tasty.
Looks lovely Jan. While I was away for the last two weeks I made a commitment from now on to live a low carb/no sugar lifestyle, feeling the benefits already. Will be visiting to see your healthy recipes often 💜
How delicious.xxx
Gosto de bolo de maçã.
Um abraço e continuação de uma boa boa semana.
