Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • ½ cup tapioca flour
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice or ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt

Other

  • 1 ½ cups fresh apples, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, ½ cup pure maple syrup, and 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together 2 cups almond flour, ½ cup tapioca flour, 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice (or ground cinnamon), 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon sea salt to distribute the leavening and spices evenly.
  4. Incorporate dry into wet: Gradually pour the dry ingredient mixture into the bowl of wet ingredients and mix thoroughly until the batter is uniform with no flour pockets.
  5. Add apples: Fold in 1 ½ cups of finely chopped fresh apples gently to incorporate without overmixing, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Fill loaf pan and bake: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top into an even layer. Cover the pan loosely with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning and bake on the center rack in the preheated oven for 60 to 70 minutes.
  7. Check doneness: Using a digital thermometer, insert it into the center of the bread; it should reach 190°F or higher to confirm the bread is fully baked. Alternatively, a toothpick inserted should come out clean.
  8. Cool and serve: Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. For an enhanced snack, warm a slice and spread with butter or almond butter.

Notes

  • Make sure to chop apples finely to ensure even distribution and moist texture inside the bread.
  • If you prefer a sweeter bread, consider adding a tablespoon more maple syrup, but be mindful of baking times as extra moisture may require slight adjustments.
  • Using parchment paper helps prevent the bread from sticking and makes cleanup easier.
  • Storing leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature will keep the bread fresh for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
  • This bread is naturally gluten-free and can be made dairy-free by using dairy-free spreads.
