Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F and oil and parchment paper line a loaf pan.
Peel and grate apples into a bowl and drizzle with lime juice. Set aside.
In a bowl mix flour and baking powder with a fork until well combined. Set aside.
Cream butter and honey with the flat beater in a stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer in a bowl until creamy and pale (3-4 minutes on medium), then add apple butter and mix until well incorporated (1 minute on medium).
Reduce speed to low and mix in eggs one by one and flour in 4 stages. One egg, 1/4 of the flour, another egg, another 1/4 of the flour etc. always waiting for each part to be mixed in before adding the next.
Press water out of the grated apple with your hands and add to the batter and mix in by hand with a spatula. Then transfer batter to loaf pan.
Flatten the batter with the spatula and sprinkle almond flakes on top. Then bake for 55-60 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and place in the pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes. Do not remove from the pan before the 30-minute mark.
Take the bread out of the pan and either let cool completely or cut right into it and enjoy.
