When I went shopping this week, I found the most beautiful honey crisp apples for my new apple cinnamon bread recipe. Although I don't care for sweets much, there is something special about apple cinnamon bread. Even though it's technically bread, it screams dessert at the same time.

My family loves anything with apples and cinnamon. As a result, I created a whole-foods, refined sugar-free apple cinnamon bread for the sweets lover sat my house.

Whenever I make apple bread or any apple dessert, I like to use honey crisp apples. Even though any apple can be used, I prefer honey crispy apples. Not only are honey crisp apples incredibly crisp, but they also boast a delicate sweet-tart balance and a light berry flavor.

Regardless of what apples you choose for baking apple bread, remember to pick organic apples because they are always on the dirty dozen's fruit list to buy organic.

How to make apple cinnamon bread

First, combine all the dry ingredients in one bowl and stir together to make sure the baking powder and baking soda are mixed with the flour.

Then, add the wet ingredients, except for the apples. Once the apples are peeled and chopped, toss them in a little lemon juice to prevent them from turning brown.

Next, fold in the chopped apples, reserving 1/2 cup to add to the bread's top before cooking. To add a beautiful cinnamon flavor on top of the bread, I also sprinkle with extra cinnamon before baking.

Once the apple bread batter is combined, line a bread pan with parchment paper, or use a silicone bread pan. Both the parchment paper and silicone baking pan allow for oil-free baking.

For an added apple cinnamon topping, add the reserved chopped apples and place them randomly on top of the batter, pushing the pieces gently into the bastter.

Then, sprinkle the top with cinnamon before placing it in the oven.

To check to make sure the apple cinnamon bread is cooked all the way through, insert a knife into the middle of the baked bread. If the knife comes out clean, allow the bread to cool before removing the pan's apartment paper or bread.

Slice the bread and serve with your favorite salad or soup, or have a large piece for breakfast with a cup of coffee or your favorite tea.

Bite into a slice of heaven with this apple cinnamon bread. Not only is it oil-free and refined sugar-free, but this apple cinnamon bread is also healthy and vegan.

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour

Apple Cinnamon

2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 salt
1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce (or 1 flax egg)
1 cup oat unsweetened oat milk (or any unsweetened plant-milk of choice)
1/2 cup maple syrup (or 3/4 cups coconut sugar)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons cinnamon + 2 teaspoons for the top of the bread
3 cups peeled and chopped apples, divided (reserve 1/2 cup for the top of the bread)
1 Tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Peel and chop 3 cups of apple (approx. 3 medium-sized apples) tossed in lemon juice; set aside (Reserve 1/2 cup chopped apples on the side)
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and 2 teaspoons of cinnamon.
Stir dry ingredients together to make sure the baking powder and baking soda are mixed in.
If using coconut sugar, stir into the dry ingredients.
Now add the apple sauce, vanilla extract, and oat milk. Also, add maple syrup if using instead of coconut sugar.
Stir by hand; do not use an electric mixer.
Do not over-stir; make sure all the ingredients and wet ingredients create a thick and slightly lumpy batter.
Next, gently fold the apples into the batter.
Using a silicone bread pan or a pan lined with parchment paper, pour bread batter into the pan, scraping down the bowl's sides to get all the batter.
Then, place 1/2 cup apples into the top of the bread and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon, randomly placing them. This is just for added flavor and for aesthetics.
Cook for 50-55 minutes. If using a silicone pan, check the bread at 45 minutes since it cooks quickly.
To check to make sure the bread is cooked through, place a knife through the middle. It should come out clean. If there is batter on the blade, cook for an additional 5 minutes.

  Hi Ellen, yes you can use a different flour. Just make sure you check to make sure the bread is cooked through, because sometimes other flours later the amount of time it bakes. I hope you enjoy the bread recipe.
