Vegan Apple Bread Recipe

My son is growing up so fast. I recently just watched as he packed for an overnight field trip he is taking for school. He’s like a little version of me, following a checklist and checking it twice. Except he is way more chill about forgetting things than I am – he figures it wasn’t that important if he forgot to pack it!

I remember the days I packed for him. Now he is independent and doing things that need to be done all on his own. I know that’s the way it’s supposed to be, but it’s still hard watching him grow up so quickly. It’s bittersweet. I want him to spread his wings and fly, but I also wish time would slow down.

Speaking of savoring, this Vegan Apple Bread is so delightful. It’s soft, tender, and loaded with Fall flavor! If you are looking for more Fall baking ideas, I recommend trying The Best Apple Pie, Apple Dumplings with Crescent Rolls, Apple Fritter Cinnamon Roll Bake, Apple Cider Donut Cake, or Apple Dapple Cake, too!

What You’ll Need for the Bread:

2 1/2 cups Flour
1 cup Brown Sugar
3 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp Baking Soda
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 cup Vanilla Almond Milk
1/2 cup Oil
1 tsp Vanilla
1 Apple, Peeled & Finely Chopped

The Icing:

1/4 cup Vegan Cream Cheese, Softened
1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
2 tbsp Vegan Butter, Softened

And the Caramelized Apples:

1 Apple, Peeled & Cubed
1 tbsp Vegan Butter
2 tbsp Brown Sugar
1/4 tsp Cinnamon

How to Make Vegan Apple Bread

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a bread loaf pan with non-stick spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups flour, 1 cup brown sugar, 3 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp baking soda, and 1 tsp cinnamon.
Mix in 1 cup vanilla almond milk, 1/2 cup oil, and 1 tsp vanilla.
Fold in 1 peeled and finely chopped apple.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Check the bread at 30 minutes. If it’s browning too quickly, cover with aluminum foil for the remaining baking time.
Let the bread rest for 10 minutes. Then remove from pan and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
In the meantime, make the icing by beating together 1/4 cup softened vegan cream cheese, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and 2 tbsp softened vegan butter until smooth. Set aside.
Add 1 peeled and cubed apple and 1 tbsp vegan butter to a sauce pan over medium heat. Sauté until the apples are almost tender and slightly golden brown.
Add in 2 tbsp brown sugar and 1/4 tsp cinnamon. Gently stir while caramelizing. If they start to stick to the pan, add a splash of water. Once finished cooking, remove from heat and let cool.
Just before serving, spread icing over the top of the bread followed by the caramelized apples.
