  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

Notes

Tips for Making Vegan Apple Bread
    • If you feel your bread is getting too dark on top, cover it with foil to slow down the browning process.
    • Leave an overhang of parchment paper on each end of the loaf pan when you line it. You can use this overhang as a handle to easily lift the bread out of the pan.
    • Use a sharp, serrated knife to cut your bread, and use as little downward pressure as possible. This keeps the bread from squishing as you cut it and makes clean cuts.
    • Store this vegan apple bread in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in foil for up to 4 days.
    • Double wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for 2-3 months.
