Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup light brown sugar
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.75 cup non-dairy milk (e.g., almond, soy)
- 2 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg.
In a separate medium mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, light brown sugar, unsweetened applesauce, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and apple cider vinegar. Mix until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined; it's okay if the batter is slightly lumpy.
Add the non-dairy milk and gently fold in the chopped apples and walnuts, if using.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and enjoy your dairy-free apple cinnamon bread!
