Instructions
For the Cake:
- Preheat oven to 350F.

In a bowl, add softened butter, and the 1/2 cup coconut sugar. Mix with a handheld mixer then add in eggs, vanilla, and mix again.
- Add in flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, 3/4 cup coconut sugar, and cinnamon.Mix.
-
Peel and slice your apples. I like to cut mine into thin slices so it sort of layers with the cake and melds with it instead of sticking out when I cut into cubes. But feel free to cut them your favorite way.
-
Mix apples with apple sauce + 2 tbsp cinnamon. Add the apples into the batter and fold in to incorporate.
-
Line a loaf pan and pour in batter. Sprinkle with more cinnamon on top for extra warm feels.
-
Bake for about 30 min or until a fork comes out almost completely clean.
