Tips for making the Apple Fritter Cake

When mixing all the ingredients, I highly recommend using a counter mixer, and mixing it on a medium speed for at least a minute. This really helps activate the xanthan gum and bring everything together.

Wait to shred the apples until right before using them. If you make the apple mixture (apple, cinnamon, brown sugar) too far ahead of time, the apples begin to macerate too much. This creates an unnecessary amount of liquid and dilutes the flavor of the mixture.

For any and all baking I highly recommend having an internal oven thermometer. This lets you know if your oven is  at the proper baking temperature and saves a lot of under/over baking products.

How to store leftover cake

With most gluten free items I have found immediate freezing in an airtight bag is DEFINITELY the way to go. Cut up the cake into portion size pieces, place in a freezer bag and place it in the freezer. Thaw in the microwave or on the counter for a few hours before eating. GF baked goods seem to dry out quickly when left out on the counter or in the fridge. They can last in the freezer for up to 4 months!
