Beat the eggs together and add int 1/2 tsp vanilla extract and 1/2 tsp almond extract.

In a large bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cup coconut sugar and 1/2 cup melted coconut oil until well combined. Fold in 6 eggs well beaten, a little at a time, beating well after each addition.

Add almond flour mixture and blend. Fold in chopped apples. Pour cake batter into a greased 9″ springform. Top with slivered almonds.

Bake 45 – 50 min at 350˚F. Allow to cool 10 minutes and then run a knife around the edges of the cake to loosen the cake. Transfer to a serving platter, serve warm or at room temperature.

Warm apricot preserves in a small pan over medium heat until it breaks down. Using a cooking brush, brush the top of the cake with the warm apricot preserves.
