Easy Raw Carrot and Apple Cake

Vegan, Vegetarian, Egg-Free, Gluten-Free, Grain-Free, Oil-Free

Recently my family and I are trying to avoid gluten, especially snacks...
They are super picky eaters...So every time I cook, I sneak some vegetables in my meals...
Sometimes they suspect something is in there?
It's nothing... just kale :)
Anyway...this is raw carrot and apple cake they liked!
And my friend Kate asked me for the recipe, so I decided post here.
Hope you enjoy!!
