Warm fragrant Lebkuchen spice mix, apples, hazelnuts and organic ancient grains make this the perfect fall quick bread. Applesauce was added to make the bread more flavourful and moist, while chopped hazelnuts make an appealing crunchy top. It's great for breakfast and ideal for tucking into a lunchbox.

- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Butter and flour the bottom and sides of a 26-cm loaf pan, tapping out any excess flour. Skip this if using a silicone bread tin.
- In a large bowl, combine the flours, pure stevia powder, baking powder, salt and spice mix. Whisk until well blended. Stir in the toasted hazelnuts and chopped apples.
- In another bowl, combine the milk, eggs, vanilla and applesauce, whisking until blended. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients. Add the melted butter. Using a silicone spatula, gently fold until blended.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared bread tin and spread evenly. Sprinkle the chopped hazelnuts evenly over the batter, gently patting them in so they adhere.
- Bake for 50 to 55 minutes until the top is nicely golden and a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and cool completely.

This is indeed perfect for Fall! I love that hazelnut top - crunchy and so flavorful, too! I was just thinking I need to use my spelt flour more and this looks like a great way to do so.
Love the fall flavors in this bread:). It looks and sounds delicious.
This looks fantastic Angie. What could I use in place of Einkorn Flour do you think?
I love the sound of this bread. The crunchy hazelnut top, apples make this a perfect fall recipe. I would love to have a slice of this bread, seriously.
Mmmm! I have boxes full of apples from the orchard. Need to make some apple sauce so I can make delicious apple bread like this
woa this looks so "solid" like one slice will be full kind, nice!
There few of my favorite ingredients in this bread- hazelnuts and apple.. and they both are real autumn ingredients! Lovely bread.
@Tania @My Kitchen Stories You can use wholegrain spelt flour instead.
That's an amazingly beautiful loaf, and it's got everything I like. Definitely need to make it.
It looks delicious! A wonderfully spicy treat.
Cheers,
Rosa

This spiced apple bread looks amazing, Angie! The toasted hazelnuts look so pretty and sound amazing with the apples!
Oh Angie - there are no words. I could have this in my lunchbox today or any day. You are a gifted baker, cook and photographer. Truly spectacular!
That looks so crunchy and good. Chock full of yummy ingredients! I've never paired apples with hazelnuts, neat combo.
Que bueno con ese crujiente de frutos secos.
Un saludito
Angie, sorry I couldn't come before to answer your question. It is spelt wheat in the salad. It's icredible easy to cook and easy to digest. That is why I love this bread. Well, I love all your bread recipes.
Oh Angie - your photos are so amazing! I love the sound of this loaf with apples and hazelnuts - I think I could eat the whole loaf by myself!
Spelt flour is fantastic! I love the idea of using it in your delicious bread, it would taste like autumn in your mouth no?

Your quick bread looks marvelous, Angie, I always love reading your ingredient list and learning.
Einkorn and spelt are two of my favorite flours! Such rich fall flavors in this!

Again, a beautiful and soft-looking bread with a perfect top crust. For breakfst or lunch? Both, please!
It looks hearty and delicious!
I don't know Einkorn but this bread looks absolutely divine! I have used Stevia before, a good replacement for sugar. Many times I wish I can substitute sugar for something else in my cakes. Bravissima Angie.

Love how good this bread looks Angie! Can I replace Einkorn flour for some other flour??
