1. Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, line a bread pan with parchment paper, place off to the side.
2. Next, to a large mixing bowl, add your gluten free flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda and sea salt. Whisk until fully combined.
3. Then, to a separate mixing bowl, add your vegan egg replacement. Do this by using a store bought egg replacement powder, like Bob's Red Mill or Neat Egg brand, follow package instructions by adding water and whisk. If using a flax egg, whisk 2 tbsp ground flax seed with 4 tbsp of water. Allow "egg" to sit for at least 5 minutes.
4. While your egg sits, make your apple filing by combining peeled and diced apples, coconut sugar and cinnamon. Stir until apples are coated.
5. Then, to a separate bowl, make your oat pecan topping by combining all ingredients until fully combined.
6. To the same bowl as the vegan egg, add your apple sauce and non-dairy milk, stir until fully combined.
7. Add your apple bread wet ingredients to your dry and mix until uniform.
8. To the lined bread pan add 2/3 of the apple bread batter. Then, add your apple filling by sprinkling evenly over the top. Next, add the other 1/3 of the batter and spread until even.
9. Next, add your oat pecan filling evenly on top.
10. Place in the oven and bake at 375 for 50-60 minutes. Check the bread after 45 minutes, if the top is browning too quickly, place a piece of aluminum foil over the top to prevent the topping from burning.
11. Once time is up, test with a tooth pick, when it comes out clean, remove the bread from the oven and let cool for at least 20-30 minutes.
12. Remove the parchment paper and bread from the bread pan, slice evenly, serve warm and enjoy!
