Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Apple Loaf Cake with Date Caramel

1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla.
3. Add gluten-free flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until just combined, then fold in the diced apples.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5. Let the loaf cool before removing it from the pan.
6. To make the date caramel, soak dates in warm water for 10–15 minutes if they’re firm. Blend dates, warm water, vanilla, and salt until smooth and creamy, adding more water as needed.
7. Drizzle the date caramel over the cooled apple loaf, slice, and enjoy! 🍂
