Instructions

Heat oven to 180°C (350°F) and fold a 20 cm (7.9 inches) loaf pan with parchment paper or grease with oil.
Peel and with the help of a knife cut the apples into small pieces.
In a large bowl, combine applesauce with eggs, maple syrup, oil and vanilla extract. Once combined, whisk in ground cinnamon and mix until smooth.
Using a rubber spatula or fork, stir in the flour, baking soda and salt. Mix wet and dry ingredients together until you get a smooth batter.
Fold in the peeled apples, cut into small chunks.
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan. Bake in hot oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of your apple bread comes out clean. Let cool over a baking rack or dish before slicing.
