Where are my dessert bread lovers at? This vegan apple loaf is for you! It’s no secret that I absolutely adore dessert breads. I think dessert loafs are where it’s at, because they are perfectly sweet, yet not too rich. You can enjoy the bread without feeling sluggish or super full. I have quite a few on my blog already, and I am always developing more (new recipes every Tuesday and Thursday!). My favorite vegan dessert loafs include:

• Simple Banana Bread
• Cranberry Orange Bread

This recipe is packed full of chai flavor and natural sweetness. This dessert loaf also features a vegan apple oat crumble that is simply delicious! And last, but not least, this dessert loaf is incredibly simple and easy to make!

How to make chai spice for this loaf?

I am actually working on putting together some of my spice blend recipes so that I can include them in my blog, so make sure to look out for that. Making homemade chai spice is super easy, and cost efficient! Until I have that recipe posted, I would suggest using apple pie spice, or pumpkin pie spice. They taste essentially the same!
