Ingredients

2-3 Large Apples diced ( I used Granny Smith's)

3 Tb Organic Evaporated Cane Juice Sugar

3/4 tsp ground Cinnamon

1/2 C Water

1/4 C Bacardi Rum

1/4 C shredded Coconut

4 Large Eggs

2 Sticks Unsalted Butter or Earth Balance Vegan Buttery Sticks--melted

1 C Organic Evaporated Cane Juice Sugar

1 1/4 C Quinoa

1 3/4 C Arrowhead Mills Organic Brown Rice Flour

1 tsp Aluminum Free Baking Powder

Directions

Preheat Oven to 350 F.

Combine diced apples, with 3 Tb sugar, water cinnamon, and rum in a saucepan. Simmer until liquid has mostly evaporated, and the apples have softened. Set aside.

With electric mixer, beat the eggs and mix well with remaining sugar and the melted butter. Batter will thicken up.

Stir in the quinoa. Mix together the brown rice flour and baking soda, and slowly add to the batter while continuing to mix.

Grease a 9"X9" baking pan.

Pour half of the batter in, smooth over, and fill with the apple mixture, then sprinkle with the shredded coconut. Cover with remaining batter.

Bake about 30 minutes. Cake is done when top is golden and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

**I'm thinking about topping it with some fresh whipped cream, or honey next time.

~Enjoy!
