Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar until well combined.
In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, mix together the applesauce, non-dairy milk, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
If using optional mix-ins like raisins, nuts, or chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.
Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve plain, with a spread of dairy-free butter or jam, or toasted for extra crunch. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
