Can I make a gluten-free version of this apple cake?<\/strong><\/h3>\nIf you prefer gluten-free desserts, you can change this recipe to fit your needs. Instead of all-purpose flour, mix almond flour, oat flour or coconut flour into the batter. The taste may differ from the original cake, but it will still be delicious.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nHow do I know when the cake is finished baking?<\/strong><\/h3>\nTo check if the caramel apple cake is ready, first observe its appearance. If it starts to rise and turn golden brown, you can remove it from the oven. You can also insert a toothpick into the cake. The cake is ready if the toothpick comes out clean without any batter sticking to it.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When I go to potlucks, family gatherings or on hunting and fishing trips with my husband and son, this cake is one of my favorite desserts to bring.
