3ozdried apples, roughly chopped, makes 1 1/2 cups after chopping
Wet Ingredients
1/2cupapple sauce
1/3cup + 2 tbspmaple syrup
1/3cupmilk, almond or cow's milk work well
2tspvanilla extract
2eggs , or 2 tbsp flaxseed meal + 6 tbsp water
Crumble
1/2cupfinely chopped walnuts
3tbspcoconut sugar
1tspcinnamon
2tbspmelted butter (regular or vegan)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Add paleo baking flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to a large bowl. Stir.
In another bowl combine apple sauce, maple syrup, milk, vanilla extract, and eggs. If using flaxseed meal instead of eggs, combine 2 tbsp ground flaxseed meal and 6 tbsp water in a small bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes. Then stir into other wet ingredients.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir.
If your dried apples are in rings be sure to give them a rough chop. You want bite sized pieces. Stir in the chopped dried apples.
Grease the inside of a 9 x 5 loaf pan to prevent sticking. (I use olive oil.) Scoop the batter into the pan so it's in an even layer. Sprinkle the crumble on top.
To make the crumble, finely chop the walnuts. (Even if you buy chopped walnuts I still recommend chopping them smaller.) You want 1/2 cup of the finely chopped walnuts so measure after chopping to make sure you have enough. Stir in cinnamon, coconut sugar, and butter.
Sprinkle the crumble on top of the batter.
Place in the oven on the middle rack. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and loosely (and carefully because it's hot!) cover the top with aluminum foil. Return to the oven and bake for another 35 minutes. Rest at room temperature until cool. Then slice!
