Nothing says welcome fall like good old fashioned apple bread.
And of course, we have a dairy-free AND egg-free version you’re sure to love.
I’ve been making this recipe for fifteen years, always a good option when you have a couple apples the family has decided to pass up.
Nobody passes up apple bread!
See our quick video and easy recipe below.
Years ago, when we moved into our house, we were blessed with a beautiful apple tree right in the backyard.
My kids were preschoolers, home with me everyday.
And when the apple tree was producing, we had more apples than we knew what to do with.
That’s when I baked up apple recipes galore…dairy, egg, and nut free.
But oh so good!
MORE DAIRY-FREE APPLE RECIPES
Here are some of our favorite apple recipes with no dairy milk. They are eggless, too.
And since our quick breads are a huge hit around here,
apple bread was yet another apple recipe I knew we had to include in our apple season recipes.
DAIRY & EGG FREE QUICK BREADS
In addition to this vegan apple bread, here are three more vegan quick breads we make regularly at our house.
Next up, had to be apple bread. Recipe below!
Sadly, our beloved apple tree eventually died.
But we still love picking up apples on great sales in the fall.
And apple bread is still always a must, even without the tree out back.
BEST BREAD PAN
I’ve found I love making quick breads more than ever when I have THEE perfect baking pan.
- Made in the USA
- Never needs greased
- Bread pops right out
- Clean-up is literally a dream
Here are the best baking pans ever!
WHAT KIND OF APPLES FOR BREAD
Honestly, any apples will do for this recipe.
You just need one or two. One cup shredded.
And they can be anything from smooshy apples on their last leg to crisp fresh apples right off the tree.
Because this apple bread recipe is best made with shredded apples…the consistency doesn’t really matter.
As long as you can peel and shred the apples, you’ll end up with juicy apple shreds either way.
Personally, for this recipe, I like to use up my less crunchy apples.
We save nice crispy apples for apple pie and apple crisp…or for dipping in dairy-free caramel.
Any variety of apple seems to work in this recipe, too. It’s versatile!
Here’s the vegan apple bread recipe below.
And make sure you see our quick video demo in this post, too.

QUICK TIP
This recipe can be used for apple cinnamon muffins, as well. Just put the batter into a muffin pan instead of a bread pan. And baking takes half the time. Check the muffins at 20 minutes. If they don’t bounce back to the touch, keep checking in one minute increments until they are done.
