Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (natural)
¼ teaspoon nutmeg (natural)
¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients & Add-ins

¾ cup granulated sugar
⅓ cup vegetable oil
½ cup plant-based milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
1 ½ cups apples, peeled and diced

Sweet Glaze (natural)

1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
1 teaspoon natural gelling agent (such as pectin)

Instructions

Prepare Dry and Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined. In another bowl, mix granulated sugar, vegetable oil, plant-based milk, vanilla extract (natural), and diced apples until the apples are evenly coated.
Combine Batter: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender crumb. The batter should be thick but spreadable.
Bake the Bread: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Prepare the Sweet Glaze (natural): While the bread cools, whisk together powdered sugar, apple cider vinegar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and natural gelling agent until smooth and slightly thickened, ideal for drizzling.
Glaze and Serve: When the bread is cool but still slightly warm, drizzle the glaze generously over the top, allowing it to seep into the bread’s nooks and crannies for added flavor.

Notes

Use fresh, firm apples like Granny Smith or Fuji for best texture.
Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread soft and airy.
Check oven temperature with a thermometer for accurate baking.
Allow the loaf to cool slightly before glazing to set the glaze properly.
Use a serrated knife to slice the bread without squashing it.
