Ingredients
Cooking spray 1 Tablespoon corn syrup 2 teaspoons unsalted butter 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, divided 2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced 3/4 cup gf flour 1/4 cup flaxseed meal 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 2/3 cup sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 large eggs 2 large egg whites Whipped cream for serving (optional)
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a 10-inch cast iron skillet (or other heavy oven-safe 10-inch skillet) with cooking spray. Melt the corn syrup and butter in the bottom of the pan over medium high heat. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the brown sugar and 1/4 cup chopped walnuts. Remove from the heat. Arrange the apple slices in a cocentric circle starting from the middle and working your way out.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gf flour, flaxseed meal, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup sugar, vanilla and whole eggs.
Beat egg whites in a clean bowl on high speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining sugar (1 tablespoon at a time), beating after each addition until stiff peaks form. Add the whole egg mixture to the dry ingredients; stir until just moist. Fold in the egg whites.
Spoon the batter over the apples. Bake at 375°F for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Loosen the edges of the cake with a knife. Place a plate on top of the pan and invert the pan so the cake is released. Cut into wedges and serve with whipped cream (if desired).
