Apple Crumble Cake with Crunchy Whole Hemp Seeds (Vegan)

Apple Crumble Cake with Crunchy Whole Hemp Seeds

I can never resist a fragrant cinnamony apple pie hot out of the oven. I didn’t have one in a long while, but I had plenty of apples so I decided this was a good day for baking. Well, this time I wanted to try my luck with a gluten-free version, and I was super excited that the dough turned out great – not something to take for granted with gluten-free baking as I know from many failed experiments. So, this dough is fluffy and soft…perfect! Then comes a huge layer of sweet baked apples with cinnamon…yum! And finally, everything is topped by a crunchy layer of crumbles with a special ingredient: Coarsely ground whole hemp seeds. Not only do they add an extra crispness, but they also add nutritional value to the cake. Bottom line: Just my cup of tea, oops, I mean, my piece of cake!

  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Dough

  • 250 g brown rice flour
  • 130 g starch e.g., cornstarch or tapioca starch
  • 1,5 tsps xanthan gum
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoon stevia powder

  • 150 ml rapeseed oil or any other neutral oil
  • 50 ml water

  • Mix all the dry dough ingredients. Add apple sauce, rapeseed oil and water to the dry ingredients and knead the dough well.
  • Line the cake tin with baking parchment and layer it with two-thirds of the dough. Make sure to pat some dough up the sides.
  • Distribute the apples slices evenly on the dough and sprinkle with cinnamon.
  • Coarsely grind the whole hemp seeds and mix up with the remaining dough to make the crumble topping. Sprinkle over apples in small chunks until completely covered.

    You might need to place the cake on the lower rack after 20 minutes if the top
    gets too dark – so make sure to check regularly.

Notes

You can store the cake for a couple of days in an airtight container, but the crumbles won’t be as crunchy anymore as on the first day.
