INGREDIENTS

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

DIRECTIONS

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!

Easy Peanut-Ginger Noodles in a round white bowl with wooden chopsticks with fresh ginger in the background

Who hasn’t realized at 5:45 that they forgot to prep dinner? I certainly have. More than once. So often, in fact, that I created a delicious, quick, and healthy meal that uses pantry staples.
