Get in the festive fall spirit with this healthy and delicious Apple Cinnamon Bread from our friend Liz at Iheartvegetables.com

Ingredients

• Light brown sugar- A little brown sugar adds sweetness to this recipe.
• Coconut oil– This adds a little fat to make the bread soft and tender.
• Vanilla extract- This helps enhance the sweetness of the bread.
• Eggs– These help bind the bread together so it’s nice and soft.
• All-purpose flour– You could substitute up to 1/2 cup of all purpose flour with whole wheat flour, if you like.
• Baking powder- This gives the bread lift.
• Salt- This helps enhance the sweetness.
• Almond milk or soy milk– You can also use dairy milk, if you prefer.
• Apple– I like to use a Honeycrisp or Fuji apple for this recipe.
• Cinnamon– This is such a lovely spice to pair with apples!
