The Silver Palate Apple Cake made gluten free (and dairy free- not egg free)

I halved the recipe and baked it in a rectangle medium pyrex container 8.5 x 6.5 inches. Remember gluten free items are a bit harder to cook all the way through, so less thickness is better. 

for the Cake

 1/4 cup butter (or earthbalance) ****the gluten full recipe called for way more oil, just not needed with gluten free flour and I decided to use 1/2 butter and 1/2 oil 

1/4 cup sunflower oil (or coconut oil) 

1 and 1/2 cups of Bob's Red Mill gluten free 1 to 1 flour in the blue bag (for cakes)

 1/8 tsp ground cloves

 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon

 1/2 cup walnut - little more if you like them 

1 and 1/2 TBSP Calvados apple brandy 

3/4 to 1 cup of sugar (3/4 was fine with me)

1 and 1/2 eggs (or use 1 egg plus one extra yolk) 

1/2 tsp of salt (make sure not salted butter or leave salt out if using salted butter)

 1 and 1/2 cups of coarse chunks of peeled apple

 

 for the glaze

 1/8 cup of butter (or earth balance)

 1 TBSP brown sugar

 3 TBSP granulated sugar 

1 and a 1/2 TBSP Calvados

 1/8 cup of sweet apple sider 

1 TBSP fresh orange juice 

1 TBSP of coconut cream (or heavy cream)

 I added 1/2 tsp of orange zest also
