Apple Almond Cake

Swapping almonds for all-purpose flour makes this Passover-friendly cake gluten-free while giving it a nutty taste and texture. Whipping the egg whites provides the cake with height and texture as well as some stability to stand up to the heavier apples and nuts. Be sure to use almond flour in this recipe--it’s milled to be finer than almond meal for a lighter cake. Bob’s Red Mill makes a great one.
