dice 3 of the apples into 2cm cubes and thinly slice the remaining 2 for top of cake. then coarsely chop nuts in a food processor.

beat the eggs with the sugar until smooth.

add all remaining ingredients, but fold the diced apples and chopped nuts in after you have combined all other ingredients.

pour into greased cake tin and top with the sliced apples, then sprinkle with some coconut sugar. place in preheated oven on 170°F for about 50 mins or until cooked.

NOTE: for gluten free cake, I used raw buckwheat from woolies and ground it with the bullet. You can also use normal sugar and oil, I just used the coconut stuff cos of the health benefits and it doesn't compromise the taste at all.
