Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 270 grams whole wheat flour (approx 2 1/4 cups (use weight for most accuracy))
  • 1/2 cup unrefined coconut sugar
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1.5 cups diced apples ((dice them very small))
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 cup soy milk
  • 2 tbsp unrefined coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  • Add all the dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl and whisk together. Then add the applesauce and the soy milk and mix, just until no dry bits remain, without over mixing. Now fold in the diced apples, reserving a small handful for sprinkling on top, if desired.
  • Optional: If you're adding the cinnamon swirl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Then pour half of the apple bread batter into your loaf pan and sprinkle the mixture on top, in an even layer. (You may reserve a small amount of the mixture to sprinkle on top of the second half of the batter, if you'd like.) Now pour the remaining half of the batter on top of the swirl, doing your best to evenly spread it across, without mixing the swirl into the batter. If you've reserved some apple pieces, sprinkle those on top and gently press them down into the bread and sprinkle any remaining sugar/cinnamon mixture on top of the apples.
  • If you're skipping the cinnamon swirl, just pour the mixture into your loaf pan and sprinkle any reserved apple pieces on top.
  • Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of your loaf comes out mostly clean, or with a few crumbs. Then remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes on a cooling rack before transferring the loaf to a cutting board. Cool for an additional 5-10 minutes, if you can wait (it makes slicing easier), then slice and serve.
