This is a full fall flavor infusion coming at ya! I can't even tell you how good this is, but here I am telling you. haha...it's true.  It's really is GOOD!

So, I read somewhere that apples are the #1 fruit that people love to cook and bake with.  I'm pretty much on board with that. 

Apples are wonderful by themselves and go well in pretty much everything sweet and savory.  They're just so versatile and have so much personality!  

Maple Apple Bread Vegan Options!

I'm really getting the vegan fever lately, so I decided let's do this!  Vegan it is!

You can make this with an egg, if you wish, but I omitted the egg from the original recipe and used applesauce and avocado oil.  My husband, recently decided to buy avocado oil so we could try it and so I'm like obsessed with it now.  I really love using olive oil too!   Other times I use canola, it's a little lighter and I like it solely for that reason.

Here's The 5 Top Healthiest Cooking Oils that are Vegan, in case you were wondering.  You were wondering, right?  So, what's your favorite go-to oil to use when baking?
