- 1 large egg
- 1 cup of applesauce
- 1/3 cup of avocado oil or organic canola oil
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup of whole-wheat flour, preferably white whole-wheat

- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Gently fold in the peeled and diced apples into the batter.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle the remaining sugar and cinnamon mixture (set aside in step 1) evenly over the top of the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, with no wet batter clinging to it.
- Once done, remove the Apple Cinnamon Bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
