Step-By-Step Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 400℉.
Preapare the Layers
Bread Layer: In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir these dry ingredients together until they are well mixed. Add in the maple syrup, egg, and melted coconut oil. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients form a smooth batter. Set this mixture aside for later use.
Creamy Cococnut Layer: In a small bowl, add the solid part of the coconut cream, maple syrup, and xanthan gum. Mix well until the ingredients are fully combined. This will create a rich, creamy layer for your Apple Pear Bread.
Crumble Layer: In another small bowl, combine the gluten-free oats, almond flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, salt, and cinnamon. Mix until all the ingredients are evenly distributed. This layer will add a delicious crunch to your bread.
Chop the apples and pears into small cubes. Sprinkle the chopped fruit with cinnamon and mix well to ensure they are evenly coated. Set aside.
Assemble & Bake the Bread
Grease a bread pan with coconut oil and line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Pour half of the bread layer mixture into the bottom of the tin, spreading it evenly. Add all of the creamy coconut layer on top of the bread layer. Next, layer about a third of the apple and pear mixture over the creamy coconut layer. Pour the remaining bread layer mixture over the fruit. Finally, top with the remaining fruit mixture and evenly spread the crumble layer on top.
Cover the bread tin with aluminum foil to prevent the oats from burning. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Remove the foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking to allow the top to become golden and crispy.
Cool, Serve, & Enjoy Some Apple Pear Bread
Once baked, allow the Apple Pear Bread to set and cool in the tin for a while. This will help it firm up and make it easier to slice. Drizzle with coconut cream and sprinkle with additional cinnamon for serving. If desired, add a touch of maple syrup for extra sweetness. Enjoy!
