Gluten Free Apple Cinnamon Bread
Description
The recipe begins by preparing an apple cinnamon mixture of finely chopped Granny Smith apples combined with coconut sugar, cinnamon, olive oil, and a pinch of salt, which provides a fragrant, sweet-tart filling. The bread batter mixes softened butter, coconut sugar, vanilla, eggs, gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, salt, and full-fat Greek yogurt for a thick but smooth dough.
In the loaf pan, half the dough is spread, followed by a layer of the apple mixture pressed into it, and then topped with the remaining dough and apple mixture. Baking results in a bread with moist crumb and visible layers of cinnamon apple, giving it texture and bursts of flavor.
This bread serves well sliced for breakfast or as a snack. The use of coconut sugar can be substituted by brown or white cane sugar according to preference or availability, supporting flexibility in sweetness and flavor nuances.
Ingredients
Apple Cinnamon Mixture:
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1 apple peeled, cored, and finely chopped, Granny Smith
- 1 tsp olive oil
- pinch salt
For the Gluten Free Bread:
- ½ cup butter softened, unsalted
- 2/3 cup coconut sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract pure
- 2 egg
- 1½ cups gluten-free flour blend
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ cup Greek yogurt full-fat
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9" x 5" loaf pan with parchment paper or spray it with cooking oil.
- Add the ingredients for the apple cinnamon mixture to a small mixing bowl. Stir well, and set aside.
- In a stand mixer or a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract (wet mixture).
- Add the eggs one at a time and continue mixing until well combined.
- In a separate mixing bowl, stir together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt (the dry ingredients).
- Pour the flour mixture into the bowl with the wet mixture and mix just until combined.
- Add the Greek yogurt and mix until a smooth and well combined. The mixture will be very thick and doughy - this is normal.
- Spread half of the bread dough in the prepared loaf pan.
- Add 2/3 of the apple cinnamon mixture and press it into the dough with a spoon.
- Spread the remaining bread dough on top, followed by the remaining apple cinnamon mixture.
- Place on the center wrack in the oven and bake for 50 minutes. Turn the oven off and allow the bread to sit in the oven an additional 5 minutes or until it tests clean.
- Remove bread from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
- Serve warm with butter!
Notes
- Brown sugar can be substituted for coconut sugar with little change in texture.
- White cane sugar is also an acceptable replacement for coconut sugar if preferred.
