4-5apples, peeled, cored & chopped into small chunks (about 5 cups/1.25 L prepared)
3Tbsp(45 mL) sugar
1Tbsp(15 mL) cinnamon
Cake
1 1/2cups(375 mL) cooked or canned chickpeas, drained & rinsed
3large eggs
1/2cup(125 mL) butter
1/4cup(60 mL) canola oil
1 1/4cups(300 mL) brown sugar
1Tbsp(15 mL) vanilla
2cups(500 mL) all-purpose flour
1Tbsp(15 mL) baking powder
1tsp(5 mL) cinnamon
1/4tsp(1 mL) nutmeg
1/4tsp(1 mL) salt
2Tbsp(30 mL) milk
icing sugar, for dusting
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter and flour a 9 x 13-inch (22 x 33 cm) pan, set aside.
Place chopped apples in a medium bowl. Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle over apples and toss to coat. Set aside.
Process the chickpeas and eggs in a food processor or blender until smooth. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the butter, oil and brown sugar until well combined. Add the chickpea mixture and vanilla and beat again.
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Add half the flour mixture to the butter/chickpea mixture, and beat until just combined. Add the milk, and beat again, then the rest of the flour mixture, and beat until just combined.
Spread batter out in prepared pan. Pour the apples evenly over the top, then press the apples into the batter with the back of a large spoon until the batter just starts to press up through the apples.
Bake in the middle of the oven for 50 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely before cutting into squares. Dust slices with icing sugar before serving if desired.
