An Apple Cake a Day keeps the Bad Moods away.

Autumn Apples + Pie. Do I even need to say more? It’s that time of the year, at least in Sweden, where the apples taste the best ever and we are able to acknowledge apples straight from the apple trees and enjoy fantastic, delicious autumn apples. Even apple desserts, cakes and pies is on a whole new level this time of the year due of these fantastic, organic apples so I really felt like I wanted to give you a recipe you could make too.

This is what I call a "reversed apple crumble pie”. Instead of having the crumble over the apple slices, I have put it under them so that the beautiful apples are visible. This crumble is made with oats to make it more fiber rich, and the whole pie is sweetened with stevia as main sweetening. You can also use optional sweetening (even sugar since we only use 1 tbsp for the whole batch) if you want to.
