Add a photoThese adorable little Caramel Apple look-alikes are a rather healthy version of the now popular Cake Pop. They’re gluten, dairy and white sugar free and delicious! The moisture of the cake provides a home for the pop of the caramel crunch - a classic favorite from childhood all grown up!
Ingredients
- 2 cups chopped sweet apples
- 2 1/2 cups gluten-free cake flour
- 1/4 cup ground flax seed meal
- 1/4 cup finely ground almond flour
- 1 Tbsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup apple sauce
- 3/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 cup sucanat
- 4 Tbsp boiling water
- 1/2 cup finely ground walnuts (optional)
- 18 candy sticks
- A foam block or other way to keep the pops upright while cooling
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°
- In a large bowl, whisk together your flour, flax, almond flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a small bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly until creamy. Add the apple sauce and maple syrup and whisk to blend thoroughly.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix with a fork or spatula to combine.
- Fold in the apples.
- Bake in a lightly greased loaf pan for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Cool for 5 minutes in pan, then turn onto wire rack and cool until just slightly warm.
- In a small saucepan over medium/low heat, combine water and sucanat. Slowly let this melt and combine until it forms a dark syrup. It should trickle when you pull it from a fork, but in small clumps rather than a stream. This took me about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut the cake into chunks in a large bowl and smush with your hands until broken. Roll into 1 1/2 inch balls and place on a plate.
- When the caramel is smooth, poke a candy stick into the center of a ball to make an indentation. Then remove the stick and dip in the caramel, and reinsert.
- Drizzle the cake pop with caramel and press into nuts, if desired.
- Repeat until all the pops are assembled, or until youâve eaten all the mushed up cake in the bowl and then blamed its absence on your roommateâs cat. Wait, what?
