Healthy Apple Energy Loaf image

I've adapted this from a Rosemary Stanton recipe putting my own little twist on things. This loaf is a bit healthier than many regular loaf and cake recipes. It's free of lactose, butter and eggs and is a great snack when you're on the move or looking for a healthier alternative to satisfy those indulgent cravings!
