INGREDIENTS (FOR ONE LOAF)

  • 1 kg South Tyrolean apples
  • 200 g sugar
  • 2 tbsp rum
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground cloves
  • 200 g sultanas
  • 400 g whole grain wheat or spelt flour
  • 200 g hazelnuts or almonds, ground
  • 1 tsp cocoa powder
  • 1/2 sachet baking powder
  • Butter to grease the loaf tin

Step 1: Peel and core the apples and grate them into a large bowl. Mix in the sugar, rum, cinnamon, ground cloves and sultanas. Let the mixture sit overnight to allow the flavours to develop.

Step 2: The next day, mix the flour with the ground hazelnuts or almonds, cocoa powder and baking powder and add to the apple mixture. Stir everything together with a wooden spoon. If the mixture is too dry, add a bit of water to bring it together.

Step 3: Grease a loaf tin with butter and pour in the batter. Bake at 180°C (160°C for fan ovens) for about an hour.
