this isn’t your typical loaf of bread—it’s something way more magical!!
invisible apple bread is packed with layers of thinly sliced apples that practically melt into one another, creating a loaf that’s part custard, part cake, and completely irresistible.
it looks like a rustic bread from the outside, but once you cut into it, you’ll see those gorgeous apple layers stacked together like delicate pages of a book.
the taste is lightly sweet, cozy, and comforting.
coconut sugar adds a caramel-like flavor that pairs beautifully with apples and warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg.

it’s sweet enough to feel like a treat but wholesome enough to enjoy any time of day.
the texture is where this bread really shines.
it’s soft, tender, and custard-like, but still sliceable like a traditional loaf.
the apples become buttery and tender as they bake, while the simple batter holds everything together without ever feeling heavy.
it’s one of those recipes that feels like pure kitchen magic—the way a big pile of apples transforms into a tall, elegant loaf is nothing short of amazing.
as for toppings, my favorite way to finish this bread is with a dusting of powdered sugar once it’s cooled.
it adds just the right touch of sweetness and makes the presentation extra pretty.
you could also serve slices with a drizzle of maple syrup, a scoop of yogurt, or even a little whipped cream for dessert.

to store, let the bread cool completely, then cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
it actually tastes even better the next day once the flavors have had time to deepen.
if you prefer it warm, just heat a slice in the microwave before serving.
this unbelievable healthy and gluten-free invisible apple bread is a showstopper for apple season—beautiful to look at, simple to make, and bursting with wholesome flavor in every bite.

Ingredients
3 large eggs
1/2 cup coconut sugar
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsweetened dairy-free milk (or regular milk if you’d like)
3/4 cup 1:1 gluten free baking flour for sturdier structure or gf oat flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
pinch of sea salt
4 medium gala, honeycrisp or pink lady apples (about 1 3/4 lbs total), peeled, cored, and sliced paper-thinoptional: dust of powdered sugar
Directions
- preheat oven to 350ºf and line your bread loaf pan with parchment paper.
- in a large bowl, whisk eggs and coconut sugar until frothy. whisk in vanilla and milk.
- sift together oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. whisk into wet mixture until smooth.
- fold in apple slices until fully coated in batter (it will seem like way too many apples with too little batter—this is what makes it “invisible”).
- pour mixture into loaf pan, pressing down apples to even them out. smooth the top. for mini cakes, fill parchment paper muffin cups all the way to the top. you should get 12.
- bake 60-65 minutes, until set in the center and lightly golden for the bread. if the top browns too fast, tent with foil. for the mini cakes, bake 30 minutes.
- cool completely in pan before slicing. it will set more as it cools. i recommend cooling in the fridge for a few hours.

Hello!
Can I use 2% milk ?
Thanks !
Jennifer
Does this work fully veganized? I can’t do eggs, and I’ve never tried to go for a custard effect with any egg substitute.
sadly that won’t work! :/
Hello,
Can’t wait to try this !
Can I use 2% milk in the recipe ?
Thx!
Jennifer
yes!!
Can I use almond or coconut flour?
no unfortunately! :/
This was a hit. Delicious recipe and not too sweet. I opted to add a crumble topping that went very well. Definitely better heated.
oh amazing, thank you!!
C’est très bon merci 😃
Can I use Greek yogurt, water down instead of milk?
not entirely sure how that would work out! lmk if you try :)!
Hi! Can I use arrowroot flour for this?
hi! that won’t work well!
If I’m not gluten free, could I replace with regular AP flour?
yes!
Made this in a small cake pan and couldn’t wait for it to cool to taste. Loved the not too sweet balance. I will say that as the instructions suggest, it tastes even better cooled in the fridge overnight! Like a whole new dessert! Tasted like pumpkin and I love pumpkin!
yay!!
