Ingredients
• The Flourless Foundation: 2 cups Almond Flour or Oat Flour (replaces the all-purpose flour for a rustic, “reborn” crumb).
• The “Zero” Sweetener: ¾ cup Monk Fruit or Erythritol (in place of white sugar).
• The Fruit Star: 2 medium Apples (peeled and diced—their juices soften into the batter as seen in your photo).
• The Warmth: 2 tsp Baking Powder and 2 tsp Ground Cinnamon.
• The Bind: 2 large Eggs and ½ cup melted Butter or Coconut Oil.
• The “Magic” Topping: 1 tbsp Monk Fruit mixed with ½ tsp Cinnamon (creates that iconic, professional “wow” crust).
Preparation Steps
1. The Whisk: In a large glass bowl, beat the eggs and melted butter with the sweetener until the mixture is “velvety.”
2. The Dry Fold: Stir in the almond flour, baking powder, and 1 tsp of cinnamon. Mix until the batter is thick and professional.
3. The Apple Infusion: Fold in the diced apples so every bite is a “miracle” of sweetness.
4. The Vessel: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan, exactly like the one shown in your artistic photo.
5. The Artistic Finish: Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar monk fruit mixture generously over the top to create that professional “steakhouse-quality” crust.
6. The Bake: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45–50 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean and the house smells like a “cozy bakery.”
