Today’s Apple Cinnamon Coconut Loaf Recipe is the perfect way to celebrate the best of autumn! We love this sweet apple coconut bread with apples, cinnamon, coconut, coconut oil, and sourdough start for that extra flavor pop! Everyone will rave about your apple and coconut loaf cake. 

Why we love Apple Cinnamon Coconut Loaf Recipe

Apple Cinnamon Coconut Loaf is made with our sourdough starter (which we love so much!) and no worries if you don’t have a start, you easily replace it with sour cream!  This luscious loaf will be a hit with your family and friends this fall!

Oh my. It’s just amazing!! 🙂

Sourdough Starter & Apple Cinnamon Coconut Loaf Recipe

This recipe alone is completely worth getting a starter going–we love ours! All you need to know is in our The Ultimate Sourdough Starter Guide!

If you’re like me… I used to only be familiar with sourdough bread loaves which are very good but have a strong, sharp flavor to it. These recipes using sourdough start that I have been sharing with you are much milder.  

The sourdough starter just adds a little bit of ‘tang’ to it and let me tell you it’s a tang you want to experience! It’s a whole new flavor accent that we completely adore!
