Ingredients

For the Bread:

  • 1.5 cups blanched almond flour
  • 1/2 cup tapioca starch
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 tbsp coconut flour
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup applesauce
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 cup diced apples*
  • ½ cup chopped pecans

For the Caramel Glaze:

  • 2/3 cup full fat coconut milk
  • 4 tbsp coconut or palm sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  • Begin by heating your oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 8.5 x 4.5 loaf pan and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix together almond flour, tapioca starch, coconut sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking soda.
  • In a smaller bowl, whisk eggs. Add applesauce, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry and mix well until dry dry pockets are completely gone. Now fold in apples and pecans. Using a spatula, place inside loaf pan. Batter will be thick, and you will need to use a spatula to spread evenly over the pan.
  • Place in the oven, and bake for 45-50 minutes (depending on oven). This could take up to 55 minutes in some ovens!
  • While baking, make your caramel sauce. In a medium saucepan, heat coconut milk and sugar at medium heat. It will begin to boil and bubble. Continue to whisk frequently, careful not to let it burn. It will start to thicken and turn a darker caramel color. Cook for approximately 8-10 minutes. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
  • Once bread is ready, remove from oven and cool for at least 10 minutes. Remove from pan.
  • Drizzle caramel sauce across the top, and top with chopped pecans. You may have extra caramel sauce leftover.

Notes

*Use a good baking apple like Braeburn, pink lady, or honey crisp.
