This is a new recipe, its Gluten free Cinnamon Apple Cake is very easy can be served as dessert or a breakfast cake. A buttery soft textured cake that can be baked with few ingredients and tastes so good. Adding apples and cinnamon with caramel makes this cake into a real delight.
I loved it so much I had to share this simple tasty recipe with you. The caramelized cinnamon flavoured apples, sweet and satisfying. To top it all up a dollop of melting caramel or a scoop or two of ice-cream makes it all even more special.
