Ingredients

• 180 grams gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 60 grams almond flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 150 grams brown sugar
• 120 milliliters unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 60 milliliters coconut oil, melted
• 2 cups grated apples
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir well to evenly mix the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, beat the eggs. Add the brown sugar, applesauce, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil, whisking until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the grated apples and chopped walnuts (if using) until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Slice and serve the apple bread warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
