  • 1 tsp. Baking Soda
  • ½ tsp. Salt
  • 1 C. Sugar
  • ½ C. Extra Virgin Olive or Avocado Oil, plus more for the pan

Maple Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

  • 8 oz. Nancy’s Organic Cream Cheese, softened
  • ½ C. Organic Butter, softened
  • ¼ tsp. Salt
  • ½ tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Tbsp. Maple Syrup
  • 4 C. Organic Powdered Sugar

Directions

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan with oil or butter and parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, combine the sugar, oil, yogurt, and vanilla. Fold in the grated apples.
  4. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and incorporate.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until a knife comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool completely on a rack before frosting.
  6. To make the frosting, use a hand mixer to beat together the softened cream cheese and butter. Incorporate the salt, cinnamon, vanilla, and maple syrup.
  7. Slowly incorporate the powdered sugar. Beat until fluffy and smooth.
  8. Once the cake has completely cooled, spread the frosting evenly onto the cut surface and smooth it to the edges.
