2 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened, divided
2 tablespoons plus 3/4 cup coconut sugar, divided
1 teaspoon cinnamon, divided
2 golden delicious apples, thinly sliced
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
2 eggs
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
3 tablespoons JUSTIN’S® Maple Almond Butter
2 teaspoons coconut oil
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a microwave safe bowl, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in 2 tablespoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; spread mixture into a 9-in. cast-iron skillet. Arrange sliced apples in a single layer over butter mixture.
In a medium bowl with an electric mixer, beat remaining ¼ cup butter and ¾ cup sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in pumpkin. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt and remaining ½ teaspoon cinnamon; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition.
Spread batter evenly over apples. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 30-35 minutes. Loosen sides of cake from pie plate with a knife. Cool 10 minutes before flipping onto a serving plate.
To make the glaze, melt almond butter and coconut oil in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Stir well and drizzle over the cake. Slice and enjoy!
