- Add the almond flour and the buckwheat flour to the bowl and mix until well combined.

- Place the dough into the pan and press it down with your fingers.
- Bake the dough for 5 minutes and take it out.
- In between, peel the apples and cut them into thin slices.

- Spread the apple puree or add some runny almond butter on the base and disperse the apple slices on top.
- Place the cake again for 15-20 minutes in the oven. Watch out that the base is not turning too dark. Take it out, let it cool down and enjoy it with some coconut, cashew cream or simply like this.
