French Apple Loaf Recipe - GF
6 small apples - skin on and sliced very thinly, best to use a mandolin. An option if not ready to use straight away, soak sliced apples in a bowl of warm water and 1 tsp salt for 3 minutes then drain really well. This will stop them from going brown. I don't do this, I make sure I am ready to mix them straight away.
3 eggs
1/4 cup coconut sugar
2 tbsp melted butter
1 cup plain flour or gluten free flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup raspberries - fresh or frozen
Method
Oven 180 c loaf tin, lined
1 - In a large bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until frothy.
2 - Add butter and stir.
3 - Add flour, baking powder, and cinnamon.
4 - Stir in the milk and vanilla. Whisk to remove an lumps.
5 - Add small amounts of the sliced apples, gently stir them into the mixture, without breaking the slices. Repeat until all the slices are coated.
6 - Stack the mixture into your prepared tin until it is two thirds full.
7 - Lay the raspberries on top.
8 - Stack the rest of the apple mixture, but stack nicely the very top layer.
Bake 60 minutes or until cooked.
Cool in the tin for 20 minutes, then place on a cooling tray.
Serve with yogurt or cream mixed with raspberries.
Try to coat each slice with the cake mixture.
This is a no fuss cake, the only layer you really need to be slighly fussy about it the top.
I hope you enjoy this loaf like my husband does.
