Description
A simple recipe for a moist, vegan bread topped with a sweet apple and cinnamon crumble.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup neutral oil (like canola or vegetable)
- 1/2 cup plant milk (like soy or almond)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup diced apple (peeled or unpeeled)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for batter)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for crumble)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (for crumble)
- 1/4 cup rolled oats (for crumble)
- 1/4 cup cold vegan butter, cubed (for crumble)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for crumble)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease and flour a standard loaf pan (about 9×5 inches).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the 1 1/2 cups flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, oil, plant milk, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the diced apple and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Prepare the crumble topping: In a small bowl, combine the 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, oats, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Cut in the cold vegan butter using your fingers or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the batter in the loaf pan.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- If your apples are very sweet, you can reduce the granulated sugar in the batter by 1/4 cup.
- Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture.
- You can add 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans to the crumble topping for extra crunch.
