Ingredients
  • ¼ butter, softened (I used Earth Balance to make this dairy free)
  • ½ cup apple sauce
  • 1½ cups brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ¾ cup white rice flour
  • ¾ cup tapioca flour
  • ½ cup potato starch
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 medium apple, peeled and diced
  • ½ cup pecans, chopped
  • 1 cup caramel sauce ( Here is an Easy Homemade Caramel Sauce Recipe and an Easy Dairy-Free Caramel Sauce Recipe)
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 13 x 9 baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the butter, applesauce, and brown sugar. Stir in eggs
  3. In a small bowl, combine rice flour, tapioca flour, potato starch, xathan gum, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and blend together.
  5. Stir the apple and pecans into the batter.
  6. Pour batter into a greased 13x9 baking pan.
  7. Drop caramel by the spoonful onto the batter. Run a knife through the caramel to make swirls in the batter.
  8. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until an inserted knife comes out clean.
