Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray and parchment line and 8” round cake pan, set aside.


Step 2

For the sticky maple bourbon syrup, bring the maple syrup to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat until very thick and reduced to ¾ cup (about 20 mins). 


Step 3

While the syrup thickens, peel and thin slice 2 honey crisp apples.

Turn heat off. Add the bourbon. Pour the thickened syrup into the prepared cake pan. Arrange the sliced apples in the pan in 2 concentric circles.


Step 4

In a bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and cloves. Set aside.


Step 5

In a food processor, add the remaining apples. Run on high until pureed. Add the beans and pulse until pureed. Add the coconut oil and maple syrup. Run the processor until combined. Add dry mixture, ⅓ at a time, into the processor. Pulse until combined each time. Mixture will be thick.


Step 6

Scrape the batter over the apples and spread in an even layer. Bake for 45 mins to an hour, until golden on top and toothpick comes out clean.
