A healthier, gluten-free, and dairy-free apple and pear loaf cake, perfect for a birthday or any occasion. This recipe was created for a 'crunchy' mom who is particular about ingredients and doesn't love overly sweet desserts.
Preheat oven to 350F and line a loaf pan with parchment paper. In a large bowl, mix all wet ingredients. Add dry ingredients to the same bowl and mix well. Fold in chopped apples + pears. Pour into the loaf pan. Top with sliced apples + pears. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the loaf cool before cutting into. Top with more cinnamon + a drizzle of maple syrup or honey. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days (2 days on counter, then 2 days in fridge). Enjoy!
