Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup almond milk (plant-based)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Fruit
- 2 cups fresh apples, peeled and chopped
Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons almond milk (plant-based)
- 1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: Peel and chop fresh apples into small bite-sized pieces. Toss them with a little ground cinnamon and granulated sugar to infuse the apples with flavor before adding to the batter.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Whisk together thoroughly to distribute the spices evenly.
- Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, almond milk (plant-based), apple cider vinegar, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and vanilla extract (natural) until smooth and well blended.
- Bring It All Together: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined to avoid overmixing. Carefully fold in the cinnamon-coated chopped apples, ensuring even distribution without breaking the pieces.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan. 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 and the crust turns golden brown.
- Prepare the Sweet Glaze (natural): While the bread cools, whisk together powdered sugar, almond milk (plant-based), and the natural gelling agent to form a thick, smooth glaze. Drizzle generously over the warm loaf to finish.
Notes
- Use fresh, crisp apples like Granny Smith, Fuji, or Honeycrisp for best flavor and moisture.
- Fold ingredients just enough to combine; overmixing can result in dense bread.
- Use a toothpick to check doneness early near baking time to avoid overbaking.
- Allow bread to cool before applying glaze so it sets perfectly without melting away.
- Use room temperature ingredients for smooth blending and consistent texture.
