Ingredients
Kanzi® apple and cinnamon bread
- 125g unsalted butter
- 1 cup caster sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1¾ cup gluten-free plain flour
- 1½ teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
- ½ teaspoons bi-carb soda
- 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ cup roughly chopped walnuts or pecans
- 3 medium-sized Kanzi apples peeled and diced
- 1 tablespoon raw sugar
- Extra walnuts and pecans for the top
Cinnamon Icing
½ cup gluten-free icing sugar
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
4-5 teaspoons milk
Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease and line a standard loaf tin. For easy lift out,
ensure the baking paper is higher than the tins edge. - Cream together the butter and caster sugar in a standard mixer until
light and fluffy. Add the vanilla essence and one egg at a time, beating
in-between until well combined. Scrape down the sides and base of the
bowl as needed. - Add the milk and beat further until combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir to combine the dry ingredients; flour, baking
powder, baking soda, cinnamon and ground clove. - Add the dry ingredients to the wet mix. Ensure the mixing speed is slow
to allow it to just come together. Be careful not to over mix. - Gently fold in the chopped nuts followed by ¾ of the diced Kanzi® apples.
- Pour the batter out into the prepared tin and level out with a spatula.
- Add the remaining diced Kanzi® apples and lightly push a few extra nuts
into the top. Finish by sprinkling with granulated sugar. - Bake in the oven for 50 - 55 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean.
- Place on a cooling rack for 15 minutes before removing from the tin.
- To make the cinnamon icing; combine the sifted icing sugar and ground
cinnamon in a small bowl. Gradually mix in the milk with a spatula until
you achieve a drizzle consistency that is not too runny. If it is, add a little
more icing sugar. - Once cooled, place the cake on a serving plate or a sheet of baking paper.
Drizzle the cinnamon icing over the top using a spoon, moving back and
forth quickly over the cake to create the desired drizzle effect.
