CarbsPerServing:6g (3g fiber) Effort:Easy

Ingredients:
1 cup boiling water (240ml)
2 apple-flavored herbal tea bags – optional
1 apple
2 tablespoons lemon juice (30ml)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons sugar equivalent
1/2 cup Wise CHOice Cake-ability Baking Aid (50g)
1/2 pound ground pecans (225g or about 2 cups)
pinch salt
3/4 cup sugar equivalent (equivalent to 150g)
3 eggs
3 tablespoons oil (45ml)
2 teaspoons allspice or apple pie spice
1/4 cup walnut pieces (30g) – optional

How to Prepare:
1. Optional: prepare apple tea concentrate and allow to cool.
Otherwise, just use plain water in Step 6.

2. Peel apple, slice thin, and then cut part into thin slices, the
rest into a small dice. Sprinkle with lemon juice, cinnamon, and
sweetener.

3. Grease tube pan and arrange apple slices in an attractive
pattern. Optional: if the pan is microwave safe, partly cook the apple slices
as this will help them stay in place when batter is added.

4. Also cook the diced apple briefly in microwave or in a pan on the hob
to make the apple pieces tender.

5. Mix together, breaking up any lumps: CBA, ground nuts,
sweetener equal (if dry — or add liquid sweetener in Step 3), pinch
salt. The finer the nuts are ground, the finer the cake.

6. Combine liquid ingredients.

7. Stir liquid and dry ingredients together until thoroughly wet –
no need to beat!

8. Immediately pour into prepared tin. Swirl in apple pieces and
optional walnuts. Microwave (around 7 minutes), preferably raised above the
floor of the oven (an upside-down glass pie plate works well), or bake at
350¡F (175¡C) — loaf pans 40-50 minutes, round pans 25-35 minutes,
cupcakes/muffins 15-25 minutes — or until center springs back.

9. Turn out onto a plate and cool. Slice into individual portions and serve. enjoy:).

NOTES:
- Use any combination of fruit and spices.
- Use apple or spice herb tea instead of water.

This is a really nice apple cake and can certainly be eaten as part of a healthy diet without the risk of gaining pounds!
