Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x5 loaf pan with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Combine the dark brown sugar and cinnamon, stir well. Add the apple chunks and stir to coat them with the cinnamon sugar. Set aside.
⅓ Cup (64 g) Dark Brown Sugar, 1 ½ teaspoons Cinnamon, 1 ¼ Cup (150 g) Apple
In a large bowl, combine the gluten free flour, sugar, apple pie spice, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk together to mix well.
1 ¾ Cup (259 g) Gluten Free 1-to-1 Flour Blend, ⅔ Cup (132 g) Sugar, 1 teaspoon Apple Pie Spice, 1 teaspoon Baking Powder, ½ teaspoon Baking Soda, ½ teaspoon Salt
In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and beat them until they are frothy like soap bubbles.
2 (112 g) Large Eggs
Add the melted butter, milk, applesauce and vanilla to the beaten eggs. Whisk until smooth.
½ Cup (113 g) Vegan Butter, ⅓ Cup (75 g) Non-Dairy Milk, ⅓ Cup (80 g) Unsweetened Applesauce, 1 ½ teaspoon Vanilla
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold together with a spatula until combined, about 15 strokes.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Top with half of the cinnamon apples. Gently press the apples into the batter.
Repeat with the remaining batter and top with the remaining apples.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, until the top springs back when gently poked in the center. Tent with aluminum foil to prevent it from getting too brown if needed.
Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 15 minutes before turning out on a wire rack to cool completely.
Do not slice until completely cooled or it will fall apart.
