Gluten Free Godess, Karina Alrich has a recipe for Spotted Dog.  I was intrigued by the name.  You see Charlie, my constant companion is a spotted dog.  Her recipe was another draw.  Light and lucious it makes a sensational breakfast on the go or tea time treat. 

Below is our twist on Karina's recipe

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a small pie with a piece of parchment paper.
Dry ingredients:

• 2 cups Almond Flour
• 1/2 cup Arrowroot
• 1/2 cup Brown Rice Flour
• 1 tbsp Russian Mulling Spice
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
• ½ cup raisins
• 1/2 apple, peeled and sliced
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon agave nectar
• 3/4 cup of whey or buttermilk
• a pinch of caraway seeds

Combine the dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Gently wisk the wet ingredients (with the exception of the apple slices) together in a separate bowl.  Slowly pour the wet into the dry ingredients.  Shape the dough into a ball on a baking stone or parchment lined pie plate.

Bake in a preheated oven. Bake for about 45 to 50 minutes, until the loaf is golden and firm. When a knife or cake tester comes out of the dough clean the spotted dog is done.
