1 cup granulated keto sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit blend)
2 large eggs
½ cup unsweetened almond milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups almond flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1½ cups green apple, peeled and diced
½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans

For the Dutch Crumb Topping

5 tablespoons cold butter
⅓ cup almond flour
2 tablespoons granulated keto sweetener
2 tablespoons brown keto sweetener
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

For the Vanilla Glaze

1 tablespoon melted butter
½ cup powdered keto sweetener
1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Pan
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or spray with non-stick baking spray. Set aside.
Peel and dice green apples into small cubes.

Step 2: Make the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated keto sweetener until smooth.
Beat in eggs, almond milk, and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Add almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Fold in diced apples and chopped nuts.

Step 3: Add the Crumb Topping
In a separate bowl, combine cold butter, almond flour, both sweeteners, and cinnamon.
Use a fork or pastry blender to cut the butter into the mixture until crumbly.
Sprinkle evenly over the batter in the loaf pan.

Step 4: Bake
Bake for 55–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
The internal temperature should reach 200°F (93°C) when fully baked.
Allow to cool completely in the pan before glazing.

Step 5: Make the Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, powdered sweetener, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Remove cooled bread from pan and drizzle glaze over the top.
Slice and serve.

Tips for Success
