Recipe:

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8″ springform pan with coconut oil and line bottom with a circle of parchment paper.

Step 3: Add eggs and almond extract; process until a thick batter forms. Pour in coconut oil and process until batter is well combined, about 20 seconds.

Step 4: Scrape batter into prepared pan. Arrange apple slices over top. Sprinkle evenly with sliced almonds, then with white sugar.

Step 5: Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, 45 – 50 minutes. Let cool in pan for about 20 minutes before serving. Run a knife around edge of cake before removing sides.
