Today, I am making a very delicious Flourless Apple Loaf. I came up with this recipe because we had so many apples in the house that needed to get eaten. This loaf is an absolute delight. Made with grated apple, cinnamon and nutmeg spices,a touch of maple syrup and gluten free flours, this loaf is beyond moist and fluffy. Each slice has only 1 tsp of sugar and no white flour. This apple loaf is a very healthy, no guilt snack!
Whether you observe a gluten free diet or not, everybody should cut back on sugar and refined carbohydrates (like white flour). Sugar and white flours promote systemic inflammation and inflammation drives disease. Scientific studies have shown that inflammation is the root of ALL disease.
This apple loaf will allow you to enjoy a baked good without all the white flour and sugars typically found in storebought baked goods. But it tastes good! I promise.
This Flourless Apple Loaf is gluten free, grain free, dairy free, low in sugar, paleo friendly. Use monk fruit sweetener to make it keto.

Why you will LOVE this Flourless Apple Loaf

Key Ingredients & Substitutions
- Apples- I used 3 small organic Ambrosia apples. Any type of apple will work. You need about 2 cups of grated apple. Wash your apples well because we’re leaving the skin on for more fibre.
Tapioca flour – Tapioca flour is a naturally gluten free, low net carb “flour” that helps bind together. It is key to helping bakers achieve a fluffy, light and spongy texture. Coconut flour or arrowroot starch would be a good substitute.ingredients
- Maple syrup– substitute with honey. Use Swerve or monk fruit sweetener to make it keto friendly.
How to Store this Flourless Apple Bread?
Store bread in an airtight glass container or ziplock bag. It is ok on the counter for a couple days but after that they should be refrigerated. Must be eaten within 5 days.
This bread freeze well. I will slice bread before freezing making it easy to eat a piece or two on demand.
