Apple Strudel Bread

Apple Strudel Bread? Sugar Free? OH MY GOODNESS! I made this, and on my first try, it was a HIT~! A home run in my house!
It is several steps (four to be exact) and takes a little time but boy oh boy is it worth it! It even makes a little extra which are fantastic for muffins!
Here you go!

Step One:
Make your brown rice flour mix
BR FLOUR MIX:
2c brown rice flour
2/3 c arrowroot
1/3 c tapioca flour
seal in an airtight container. (I doubled mine to make pancakes with)

Step Two:
Make apple swirl yum yum
You will mix this into the loaf just before baking
in a sauce pan combine
2 tbs apple juice
2 finely chopped granny smith apples
dash of nutmeg
pinch of cinnamon
pinch of allspice
pinch of clove
pat of butter
and a few drops of stevia
Simmer on low until apples are soft (approx 20 minutes stirring often)
Cool slightly before folding into batter

Step Three
Make the strudel topping
1/2 C BR Flour Mix
1/3 C Brown Sugar Substitute-from previous post (or the real thing)
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp guar gum
3 tablespoons melted salted butter
mix these together until all ingredients are moistened by the butter. break into small pieces. Set aside.

Step Four
Make Bread
Ingredients:
2c BR flour mix
2/3 C xylotol
1Tbs baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp guar gum
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 C milk
1/2 c grape seed oil
2 Large eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla extract


Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Spray loaf pan with cooking spray
Combine dry ingredients: Mix flour, xylotol, baking powder, baking soda, guar gum, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a large bowl
Combine wet ingredients: Combine milk and oil in a small bowl; remove 1 Tbs of liquid and discard it. Beat in eggs and vanilla
Add liquid mixture to flour mixture (wet ingredients into dry ingredients)

Fold apple swirl yum yum into the batter (from step Two)
Pour into loaf pan. no more than 2/3 full! IT WILL RISE (you can use the extra batter for muffins)
Top with Strudel topping (from step Three)
Bake 20-25 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean
remove from pan and cool on a wire rack.

IN-JOY!
