Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In another large bowl, beat together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
Add the unsweetened applesauce, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the sugar-egg mixture and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Gently fold in the diced apples using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the apple bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve the nut-free apple bread warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
