Delicious Paleo Apple Cake (or breakfast, as I like to call it)

In my house (and everyone else's I presume) mornings can be hectic in getting us all out the door on time.  That's why on Sundays I like to make something healthy and yummy that's easy to serve my little hungry monster all week long.  This time I made something that will last more than one week.  I LOVE my bundt pan yet in the almost seven years that I have had it, I've never used it!  I finally found a good recipe and altered it so it had NO added sweetener (other than fruit) and plenty of good nutrition.  I cut it in half and froze some slices for another week.
ENJOY!
