    French Apple Pie Bread

    French Apple Pie Bread is grain-free, gluten-free, and paleo with a low carb version.

    French Apple Pie Bread- paleo and low carbPin

    I am so delighted with this French Apple Pie Bread recipe! I love french apple pie with its sweet cinnamon crumbles and apples.

    But the amount of apples in a pie is just not low carb, and baking a pie from scratch is so much work.

    So I thought making a grain-free bread loaf with just a thin layer of apple slices and a crumble topping.

    That way I get french apple pie flavor in an easy low carb and paleo bread recipe.

    I made this and ate a slice of this for breakfast every morning.

    When it was gone, I was sad, so I made another loaf. This one is a keeper!

      Looks like a great recipe. I have been craving something sweet. I will be putting this on my list to make as soon as I can get out to get some Almond flour. I like the addition of the pecans to add even more flavor. I use Date paste in all my recipes. I have found that it’s more concentrated than sugar so I can use less and definitely a better Paleo choice for most recipes. Thank you for the recipe

        Hi Hema, I used a Fuji apple, but you can use red delicious, macintosh, or honey crisp apples.

      I made this yesterday and it was sooo great!!! A+! Completely guilt-free and the measurements are spot-on. It's definitely going in my book of faves 🙂 Thanks!

      ps. I used xylitol as the sweetener and I also used a mashed banana instead of the apple sauce because I didn't have any and it still turned out lovely 🙂

      Hello! This recipe looks so very delicious and I'd love to make it for Thanksgiving with our family. Do you think I could dice the apples and put them inside the batter with just the crumble on the top?

      This apple loaf is amazing - made it last night and as someone else said, my whole house smelled wonderful. I omitted half of the applesauce and replaced with butter for a lower carb version and it turned out fantastic. The whole family loves it. Thank you!

      Wow I love this! Just made a loaf. I'm in the UK so I've had a few slices for breakfast.

      I can't work out whether it's more cake or bread. Do you think it would toast?

      Made this and it's brilliant. So good that everyone who has tried it has asked for the recipe link which I've happily sent them. I've struggled to find decent Paleo-style cakes etc as most turn out dry and unappealing. This is one that will definitely make it into the regular cooking file. There's very few in there but this has just gone to the top of the pile! I'm excited to try variations of this too...

      I love french apple pie too! I haven't been able to eat it in so long though, since I found out I was severely gluten intolerant. This reminds me of the german apple streusel bread I used to eat almost every morning as a kid. Great recipe!!
