Apple Buckwheat Crumble Cake

• For the cake:
• 2 cups pecans, (200gm)
• 1/2 cup butter or coconut oil
• 1/2 cup honey
• 4 large eggs
• 1/2 cup applesauce
• 2/3 cup buckwheat flour
• 1/2 cup cornstarch or arrowroot starch
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 tablespoon ground chia seeds
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 2 cups grated apple, with peel, loosely packed
• For the crumble topping:
• 1/4 cup butter or coconut oil
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup buckwheat flour
• 1/4 cup quick oats
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds (optional)

1. Preheat the oven to 350u0b0F. Prepare a 9"x13" (22cmx30cm) pan by greasing it and lining it with parchment paper.
2. In a food processor, grind the pecans until they are fine, but not starting to stick together into a butter.
3. In the bowl of a mixer (or by hand) whip butter and honey until light and creamy. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until well incorporated, then add applesauce. The mixture will look curdly - that's okay.
4. Add the buckwheat flour, arrowroot or cornstarch, baking powder, ground chia seeds, cinnamon and ground pecans. Mix well.rnrnStir in the grated apple.
5. Spread the batter into the prepared pan.
6. Clean the bowl with a rubber spatula, but don't bother washing it because you can now make the topping in it. Mix all the ingredients for the crumble topping in the empty mixing bowl until crumbly. Spread the crumbles evenly over the batter in the pan.
7. Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.rnrnLet cool slightly in pan, then cut into squares.
8. Serve with a dollop of whip cream or ice cream.rnrnKeeps well at room temperature for several days.
