If you saw my Instagram stories, you’ll know I ate it all in 24 hours (with the help of a friend – but I take full responsibility for eating all the apple chunks and nuts! LOL). That being said, this loaf will become a favorite as it already has for me.
Bring it to Thanksgiving, Christmas, and that random night in with your friends while you watch classic movies and drink a cup of apple cider (can you tell I’m really into apples these days?)
Ok, now for the recipe that will replace your apple pie for life!
For the bread:
4 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup walnut, pecan, or almond butter (I used a mix of Artisana Organics butters to equal 1 cup – use code: “LILSIPPER” for a discount)
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 cup coconut sugar (optional, I didn’t add it since the apples were sweet enough for me)
1/4 cup of Further Food collagen (15% off: lilsipper)
1 extra large apple
walnut or pecan pieces
Method:
1. Mix eggs and baking soda with an electric mixer, then add nut butter, spices, sugar and collagen (if using) and continue mixing.
2. Finely chop apple and fold in 3/4 of the apples into the batter and pour into a bread pan. 3. Top with remaining apple pieces and nuts to taste. Bake at 350 F for about 1 hour or until a toothpick comes out clean from center. Allow to cool before topping with caramel (recipe below)
Caramel Recipe:
1 cup of pure cocoa butter chips (15% off: lilsipper15)
1/4 cup of organic Sunbutter
*Option to add desired amount of coconut sugar if you want it sweet
Melt above ingredients and stir until a sauce forms, then place in refrigerator for it to get thick (time will vary). It will eventually become solid, but you can always reheat to make a sauce again, or slightly heat to make it a “frosting” consistency.
*I also recommend adding sea salt to bring out the flavor.
