Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups brown sugar, packed
- 2 units large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups applesauce
- 1 cups peeled and chopped apples
- 0.5 cups walnuts, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray, and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar, and continue to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
Fold in the applesauce and chopped apples with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Sprinkle the chopped walnuts evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
