- ½ cup coconut milk
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp bi-carb soda

Method:
2. Combine all loaf ingredients except for the apples in a blender. Blitz until well combined.
3. Stir through apple cubes and transfer the mixture into the lined loaf tin.
4. Bake for 40 minutes, until golden and a knife comes out clean.
5. While the loaf is baking, combine all jam ingredients into a small saucepan. Let simmer on medium heat, stirring occasionally. It should take 10-15 minutes for cherries to break down and a nice thick jam to form. Transfer to a glass jar and let cool.
