This cinnamon apple bread captures the essence of fall with its delicious swirl of cinnamon and sugar and a crunchy, sweet topping. It’s crafted from simple ingredients like vegan butter, honey crisp apples, and almond flour, making it totally gluten-free.
I absolutely adore fall, especially because it’s apple season! Apples taste even better during this time of year, don’t they? That’s why I always make sure to have plenty of apples on hand.
While pumpkin often steals the spotlight in autumn recipes, I think apples deserve more credit. That’s why I created this mouthwatering apple cinnamon sugar bread recipe earlier this week. Trust me, it disappeared in just a few days! I can’t wait for you to try it and tell me what you think!
Gluten Free Cinnamon Apple Bread
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup vegan butter
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup vegan sugar coconut sugar works too
- 1/2 cup hemp milk or any other milk alternative
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups almond flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup diced apples
Cinnamon and Sugar Mixture:
- 1/3 cup vegan sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a loaf pan with non-stick spray and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In an electric mixer, beat the eggs and vegan sugar on high speed for about 2 minutes until creamy. Gradually add the melted vegan butter and beat until well combined.
- Mix in the hemp milk and vanilla extract until combined. Then, gradually add the almond flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda, and whisk until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped apples using a rubber spatula.
- Pour about two-thirds of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, covering the bottom. Sprinkle two-thirds of the cinnamon and sugar mixture over this layer. Repeat with the remaining batter and cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon and sugar on top, then use a knife or toothpick to create swirls for a crunchy topping.
- Bake for 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let it cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.
- Store the apple loaf in an airtight container in the refrigerator and enjoy it within 4-5 days.
