apple cinnamon bread with caramel sauce

Here's what went down: I whipped up this recipe, took my first bite, and at the top of my lungs, I yelled, "OMG, this is the best thing I have ever made!" My husband, rolling his eyes, thought I was being dramatic. But after just one bite, he conceded with a heartfelt "Damn, that’s good." Now it's your turn to tell me—is this apple cinnamon bread the best, or what?

APPLE LOAF INGREDIENTS

how TO make iT:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line an 8×4 loaf pan with parchment paper.

2. Combine dry ingredients in a medium bowl and set aside.

3. Whisk together eggs, coconut milk, vanilla, maple syrup, apple butter, and melted coconut oil in a large bowl until well combined.

4. Stir dry ingredients into wet until fully mixed. Batter will be thick. Fold in 1 cup of chopped apples, leaving some to sprinkle over the top.

5. Transfer batter to prepared loaf pan and spread, then sprinkle top with remaining apples.

6. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a knife inserted near the center of the loaf comes out clean.

7. Cool in the pan about 20 minutes.

8. While bread cools, stir caramel ingredients in a pot on low heat for 3-5 minutes, or until a sauce thickens.

9. Drizzle bread with caramel sauce and enjoy!
