This apple bread is quick and easy to mix together and tastes just like Fall. It has tons of fresh apple chunks and a crunchy cinnamon sugar topping that is absolutely irresistible.
I love baking with apple because of their sweet and tart combination. It is the perfect balance to baked goods. And it pairs so nicely with everyones favorite spice- cinnamon! Its perfect in a loaf like this, in a coffee cake like my Vegan Apple Cinnamon Crumb Cake or in a crisp or cobbler like my Gluten Free Caramel Apple Cobbler.

Ingredients
Fresh Apple: My favorite apples for baking are Granny Smith and Honeycrisp.
Apple Sauce: This bread gets a double dose of apple! Apple sauce keeps this vegan bread recipe super moist.
Spices: I kept the spices simple here with a combination of cinnamon and ginger.
Non-Dairy Milk: I used oat milk but you can use any non-dairy milk you like.
Canola Oil: Canola oil keeps this loaf moist. You can use any neutral tasting oil here. But do not use coconut oil!
Cinnamon Sugar Topping: A combination of granulated sugar and cinnamon are mixed together and sprinkled on top of the batter just before baking to create a crunchy cinnamon crust.
Variations
Swap the cinnamon in this recipe with pumpkin pie spice mix or apple pie spice mix!
