Brown sugar swirl

Frosting

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 ℉. 
  • Lightly grease 4 mini loaf pans and set aside.
  •  In a food processor, combine the apples and water. Blend until apple sauce is formed. You may have to use a rubber spatula to push the sides down a few times.
  • Pour ¼ cup apple sauce into a small bowl. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, apple pie spice, and cinnamon.
  • Whisk well and set aside.
  • In a mixer, using the paddle attachment, combine the butter and sugar for one minute and 30 seconds. Be sure to scrape down the sides halfway through.
  • Then add the eggs, applesauce, coconut oil, and vanilla. Mix on low until combined.
  • Slowly, add the dry ingredients to your wet ingredients and mix until fully combined. Do not over mix. In a small bowl mix together brown sugar and cinnamon. 
  • Spoon batter into prepared loaf pans ⅓ of the way.
  • Then, sprinkle brown sugar mixture on top. (About 2-3 tsp). 
  • Then spoon batter evenly on top of the mixture to fill ⅔ of the pan. Bake for 23-27 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let loaves cool for 45 minutes on a baking rack before gently removing.

Frosting

  • In an electric mixer using the paddle attachment, beat  cream cheese and butter until creamy about 2 minutes.
  • Then add all remaining ingredients and mix on low until slightly combined then on high for about 2 minutes.
  • Once loaf cakes have cooled, add frosting.  Loaf cake batter will make 4 mini loaves.
  • Frosting will make enough for 8 mini loaves. To make enough for just 4, half the frosting recipe. 

Notes

Top Tips:
  • To help the batter come together smoothly and easily, make sure that all of your ingredients are at room temperature including the eggs and butter.
  • Just like you want your ingredients at room temperature for the cake batter, you also want them at room temperature for the cream cheese frosting. Allow the cream cheese and butter to sit out before mixing.
