Apple season always makes me want to bake something warm and fragrant, and this vegan apple bread is one of my favorite ways to use fresh apples. I combine finely chopped apples and applesauce with maple syrup and warm cinnamon for a tender loaf filled with comforting fall flavors.
0 Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
1 In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
2 In another bowl, whisk together the coconut sugar, maple syrup, oil, vanilla extract, applesauce, and non-dairy milk.
3 Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix. Gently fold in the chopped apples and nuts (if using).
4 Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
5 Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6 Let the apple bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
