Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, olive oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and unsweetened almond milk until smooth.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
Gently fold in the finely chopped apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the bread once it has cooled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
