Tips for making this recipe perfectly
- I like to use spelt flour in this recipe, which acts very similar to regular wheat flour. You can also use regular flour, half regular half whole wheat, or a gluten-free flour blend. (with xantham gum in it) You can also use half regular flour and half almond flour.
- If you’re looking to save a little bit of time, you can skip out on making your own apple sauce and just used a store-bought unsweetened apple sauce. I’ve tested the recipe with both, and they both work well. Though the homemade applesauce
variation is better 😉 - I use coconut sugar to make the cinnamon roll filling, but you can use brown sugar instead if you prefer. You can also sub the applesauce for oil or butter in the swirl which will make the bread a little more rich and decadent

OMG, his apple bread seems like an awesome yummy promise !! Looks so moist and I love the idea of he cinnamon swirl, I hd missed it on IG, I just pinned it for later ^_^
Thank you so much Maeva! I love eating this one any season 🙂
Please please let me know if one can use ‘flax eggs’ and xylitol (plus extra liquid) in this recipe.
Forgive me for asking about substitutes in such a delicious recipe nut you seem sooo experienced just had to take a chance you might know.
Appreciste you!
Hi Tabia, I haven’t tested out this recipe with a flax egg, so I can’t be certain if it will alter the texture. That being said I’ve used flax eggs in replacement of eggs in some of my muffin recipes and that turns out fine! You should be able to substitute xylitol with no problems 🙂
I’ve made this twice already, the second time I used pumpkin and it was just as delicious. Easy to make!

Damn! This is great. You’ve basically combined my two favourite things. Cinnamon buns and bread. Thanks in advance.
★★★★★
Yes!! Two of my favourites as well!
Wow, I absolutely bet that each slice just has a blasting power of flavor and spice! Cinnamon and apples are seriously the best fall combination, aside from pumpkin pie spice and EVERYTHING LOL! I would love to spread a giant slather of peanut butter on top of one slice…or the entire loaf. Just maybe.
Yes! One of my favourite combos too Cassie! So yummy!
