AIP Caramel Apple Bread Recipe

This AIP (Autoimmune Protocol) Caramel Apple Bread delivers all the nostalgic flavors of fall while being completely grain-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free. Whether you're following the AIP diet for health reasons or just want a wholesome treat, this bread is perfect for you.

This recipe makes one loaf, which is enough for about 8 people, depending on how thick you slice it. Let's dive in and learn how to create this irresistible, allergen-friendly dessert!
To get started, you'll need the following ingredients:

1 ½ cups of cassava flour
¼ cup of coconut flour
½ cup of unsweetened applesauce
2 large apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
¼ cup of coconut oil (melted)
¼ cup of honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
¼ teaspoon of sea salt
2 tablespoons of coconut sugar (for topping, optional)
1 tablespoon of coconut cream (for the caramel drizzle)

Now, let's break it down step by step. First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the cassava flour, coconut flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and sea salt. Set aside.

In another bowl, mix the applesauce, melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), and apple cider vinegar. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Then, gently fold in the diced apples.

Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. If you're using coconut sugar, sprinkle it on top for an extra bit of sweetness. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

While your bread cools, make a quick caramel drizzle by mixing the coconut cream and a little extra honey (or maple syrup). Once the bread is cool, drizzle it on top.

Practical tip: Store this bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze it for longer-lasting freshness.
