Ingredients
- 4 medium (600g) green apples, grated coarsely
- 4 free-range eggs, beaten lightly
- 1/2 cup (125ml) unsweetened almond milk
- 1/3 cup (115g) honey or pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons orange blossom water
- 4 cups (480g) almond meal
- 4 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
- 5 medium (750g) peaches, quartered
- 1 tablespoon honey or pure maple syrup, extra
Method
- 1Preheat oven to 160°C (140°C fan forced). Lightly grease two 10.5cm x 21cm (top measurement) loaf pans; line base and long sides with baking paper.
- 2Combine apple, egg, almond milk, honey, vanilla and orange blossom water in a large bowl. Add almond meal and baking powder; stir until just combined.
- 3Divide the mixture between the pans, level the surface. Top with peaches, cut-side up, pressing them slightly into the batter; drizzle with extra honey.
- 4Bake loaves for 1½ hours or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cover loosely with baking paper for the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent overbrowning.
