Warm Caramel Apple Pie Bread loaded with chunks of apples and crunchy walnuts, made with a cinnamon-almond flour batter, and topped with my homemade caramel sauce. (Paleo, Gluten-free)
Anything made with apples, caramel and cinnamon are the perfect fall dessert. That's why I decided to come up with this recipe, but instead of making the traditional apple pies, cobblers or cakes, I decided to make an apple bread.
This Caramel Apple Pie Bread, is loaded with chunks of apples and crunchy walnuts, all wrapped in a delicious cinnamon-almond flour batter.
Each slice is topped with buttery crumbs, coated with a divine homemade caramel and served warm. The texture is soft, moist and fluffy.
Your house will smell like warm apple pie when you bake this bread and you should try making it for your guests this holiday season.
It amazes me that some people would choose to bake this kind of dessert with refined, processed ingredients while nutritious foods can be used instead without sacrificing taste or texture.
You'll find no wheat flours, grains, gluten or refined sugars in this recipe. This recipe is also dairy-free since so many people are sensitive to dairy.
Let's all make this holiday season healthy and delicious! 🙂 This bread is sure to be a hit on Thanksgiving and Christmas but if you need some more dessert ideas for the holidays check out my top-rated thanksgiving recipes.
