Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend for gluten-free version)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon (natural)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent (e.g., pectin or agar)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 1/3 cup neutral oil
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (natural)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
Produce
- 2 cups fresh apples, peeled and diced
Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: Peel and dice fresh apples into small cubes to evenly distribute their natural sweetness and moisture throughout the bread.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend), cinnamon (natural), baking powder, baking soda, and natural gelling agent until well combined, creating the structure and spiced base.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix plant-based milk, neutral oil, brown sugar (natural), apple cider vinegar, and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) until smooth and well blended for moisture and balanced flavor.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently stir just until combined, taking care not to overmix to maintain lightness and fluffiness.
- Fold in Apples: Gently fold the diced apples into the batter to ensure every slice has a delightful fruity touch.
- Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the aroma fill your kitchen as the bread bakes.
Notes
- Use crisp, tart apples like Granny Smith to balance sweetness and maintain texture.
- Stir ingredients just until combined to avoid overmixing and ensure a tender crumb.
- Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when baked fully.
- Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to maintain its structure and texture.
- Use room temperature ingredients for a smooth and lump-free batter.
