Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Apple
- 50 grams Almonds
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Wash and core the apple, then finely chop it into small, even pieces.
Place the chopped apple in a bowl and toss with the fresh lemon juice to prevent browning.
Roughly chop the almonds and lightly toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently until they are golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and allow them to cool slightly.
In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon, unsweetened almond butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Combine the chopped apple and toasted almonds in a medium mixing bowl. Gently fold in the almond butter mixture until the apples and almonds are well coated.
Spread the topping evenly over your cooled cake, pressing gently to help it adhere.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Bring to room temperature before serving if refrigerated.
