- Add spelt or whole wheat flour and stir gently just enough to combine. Be careful not to over mix. Add apples and give a few more gentle stirs to combine.

Notes
- Store: Store covered in a cool dry place for up to 2 days. Refrigerate covered for 3 more days.
- Freeze: In an airtight container for up to 3 months.
- Flour: Has to be wheat and whole grain like whole wheat or spelt flour. You can't use all purpose flour or any gluten free flours like almond, coconut, or oat flour.
- Sweetener: Any in a liquid form like agave, brown rice syrup, date syrup etc. is acceptable. If you like very sweet bread, increase amount to 3/4 cup.
- Use any oil: Like avocado oil, coconut oil (melted) or olive oil. Because we use only 2 tbsps, which oil you use doesn't matter.
- Pan: Apple bread bakes faster in dark loaf pan than in light or glass one.
