Gluten-Free Apple Loaf Cake

This gluten-free apple loaf is the ultimate cozy fall treat—warmly spiced and made extra moist with heart-healthy Extra Virgin Olive Oil. It's not only gluten-free, but also easily dairy-free, it’s a wholesome, crowd-pleasing recipe everyone will love.

  • Yield: 8x4 Loaf
  • Prep Time: 15 min
  • Cook Time: 45 min

Ingredients

150g (2/3 Cup) Milk of Choice
2g (1/3 Teaspoon) Salt
2 Large Eggs
10g (3 Teaspoons) Baking Soda
70g (5 and ½ Tablespoons) Granulated Sugar
5g (2 Teaspoons) Cinnamon
10g (2 Teaspoons) Vanilla Extract
¼ Teaspoons Nutmeg
1 Apple (Fuju or Gala), finely diced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 380°F (193°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients. Use a spoon to stir until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  3. Grease a loaf pan with nonstick spray, then pour in the batter. Gently tap the bottom of the pan on the counter to even out the mixture.
  4. Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 45–50 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean, it’s ready.
  5. Let the apple loaf cool for 30 minutes before serving. I recommend dusting it with a bit of powdered sugar or going all out and topping it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Buon appetito!
