Ingredients
Scale
Apple Mixture
- 2 cups fresh apples, peeled and chopped
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon (natural)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (natural)
- 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (natural)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup plant-based milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
Swirl Filling
- Remaining 1 cup fresh apples, peeled and chopped
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar (natural)
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Prepare the apples: Peel, core, and chop 2 cups of fresh apples into small pieces. Toss them with 2 teaspoons of cinnamon (natural) and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar (natural) to infuse warm spice and sweetness.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon (natural), 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (natural), and 1/4 teaspoon salt for even spice and leavening distribution.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk 1 cup plant-based milk, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural), and 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) until fully combined to add moisture and depth.
- Form the batter: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently to combine without overmixing. Fold in half of the spiced apple mixture carefully to keep chunks throughout the batter.
- Create the apple swirl: Mix the remaining chopped apples with 2 tablespoons brown sugar (natural) and 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent. Layer half the batter in the loaf pan, spoon the apple swirl mixture gently in the center, then top with the remaining batter.
- Bake to perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a rack.
Notes
- Choose firm apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for best texture.
- Do not overmix the batter to maintain a tender crumb.
- Layer batter and apple swirl gently to create a distinct swirl pattern.
- Check doneness with a toothpick as baking times may vary.
- Use a natural gelling agent to keep the apple swirl moist without sogginess.
