Pre-heat oven to 350 fahrenheit. Grease a loaf pan with neutral oil or butter & then line it with parchment paper.
Reduce the apple juice. On the stovetop over medium-high heat, pour 1 cup of apple juice into a pot, adding the whole cinnamon sticks, and allow to come to a boil. Once apple juice is boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and reduce apple juice down to 2/3 cup and set aside to cool.
Prepare the apples if using. If you're adding apple chunks to the batter, peek & dice up 1/2 of a medium apple into small chunks. Toss the apple chunks in 1 tsp of cinnamon & 1 tbsp of coconut sugar & set aside.
Mix the dry ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, protein powder (if using), spices, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
Mix the wet ingredients. Add coconut sugar & softened butter to a large mixing bowl & cream together with an electric hand mixer for about 30 seconds. Add in eggs, vanilla and apple juice, continuing to mix until fully combined.
Make the batter. Next, slowly begin to add dry ingredients little by little, mixing on medium low speed until fully incorporated. Gently fold in the apple chunks with a spatula. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan & smooth over the top with the back of a spatula.
Make the crumble topping. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, cinnamon and coconut sugar. Add softened butter & gently mix with your hands or a fork until topping becomes crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the batter.
Bake. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until topping is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
