Step 3
In a large bowl vigorously whisk together the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it rest for 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs, maple syrup, walnut oil, applesauce and vanilla. Whisk in the flour mixture without over-beating. Fold in the diced apple and walnuts. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the top with the turbinado sugar.
