Easiest little snack cake to make, with a couple added flavors of Fall via the dried apples and cranberries.! I’ve used Maizly Corn Milk and Primal Palate Apple Pie Spice – couldn’t help but add another recipe to the mix for our annual “Apple vs Pumpkin” community recipe campaign! If you need a gluten free version, sub the Primal Palate Gluten Free All Purpose Flour 1:1 and if you want a similar recipe that is Paleo, be sure to check out my Apple Pie Puffins - they’re very similar and you could sub in the dried apples/cranberries for the Apple Cider Pie Filling! I use the BARE SNACKS dried apple chips in this recipe, they're organic and are quite tasty!

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat your oven to 385° and line a quarter sized (13"x9") baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium sized bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, apple pie spice and salt, whisk to combine. Add dried apples and cranberries, toss to coat and set aside.
In another medium bowl, add Miazy and lemon juice and allow to set for 5 minutes. You’re essentially creating “buttermilk” – then add, eggs, melted butter and vanilla. Whisk well until eggs are fully incorporated.
Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir with a rubber spatula until you have a smooth batter, then pour into the prepared baking sheet, spreading out evenly.
Bake for 22-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center springs back when touched. Remove from the oven and cool.
Add the powdered sugar, corn milk, melted butter and apple pie spice to a medium sized bowl and mix with a hand mixer until you have a spreadable consistency. Spread evenly over the top of the cooled cake and add garnish of dried apples and cranberries if using. Slice and serve!
