2 cups all-purpose organic unbleached flour 1/2 tbsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda 1 cup coconut sugar 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar 1/3 cup melted vegan butter 1/3 cup mashed overripe banana 3/4 cup dairy-free milk 1/2 tbsp vanilla extract 1 and 1/2 tsp cinnamon pinch of salt
for the sautéed apples: 1 honeycrisp apple, cut into small cubes 2 tbsp coconut oil 2 tbsp maple syrup 1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a standard loaf pan that's 5 x 9 inches. in a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose organic unbleached flour, baking powder, coconut sugar, and a pinch of salt. mix them together until well combined.
in a separate bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, melted vegan butter, mashed overripe banana, dairy-free milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated. gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until a thick batter forms.
now, let's prepare the sautéed apples. in a pan over medium heat, melt the coconut oil. add the honeycrisp apple cubes, maple syrup, and cinnamon. sauté them until the apples become tender and slightly caramelized. remove them from the heat and set aside. get rid of excess oil and then gently fold the sautéed apples into your batter.
pour the batter into your greased loaf pan and spread it out evenly. bake in the preheated oven for about 52 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. the aroma of apple pie will fill your kitchen, and you'll know it's almost time to enjoy.
once done, remove the apple pie bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. slice a generous piece, serve it with your favorite dairy-free ice cream or a dollop of coconut whipped cream, and savor the unbelievably vegan apple pie bread!
