Moist apple bread, with swirls of cinnamon sugar goodness. This gluten free vegan apple cinnamon swirl bread is a fall favorite in our house!
Quick breads. One of the many things I love to bake. Pumpkin bread, banana coconut bread, cinnamon swirl bread. With little effort, you can have a loaf of homemade, sweet bread baking in your oven in no time. I think that’s why I love making them so much. Just mix, pour and bake! Oh, and eat too.
Don’t you wanna take a big bite? The addition of applesauce and freshly grated apples makes this gluten free vegan apple cinnamon swirl bread oh so moist. My favorite part would have to be the layers of cinnamon sugar swirled into the bread and also on top. When baked, it becomes caramelized and gives a sweet crust to the bread. Heavenly!
The apple cinnamon combo is a fall favorite of mine. It’s such a warm, comforting flavor, especially for baked goods. Muffins, breads, pies. Do you love it as much as I do? If you do, I know you’re going to ADORE this apple cinnamon swirl bread.

I just put this in the oven Sarah, thank you so much for your service and thoughtfulness creating these recipes for people like my husband (gluten-free/vegan)–your site is the only one I use to bake!
Thank you, Kelly! I’m so glad you are enjoying my recipes for you and your family!
This looks delicious!
I’m going to make this one. I’m going dairy, egg and gluten free while I heal my gut. I also can’t have almond, coconut or soy or peanuts. Do you think rice milk would work?
Yes, rice milk should work great!
Hi! What flour can I substitute for your specific gluten free flour blend?
The Bob’s Red Mill 1-to-1 works great!
