Preheat your oven to 350 °F.
Grease a loaf pan and set aside.
Prepare your flax eggs by whisking together 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed with 6 tablespoons of water. Set aside to thicken.
In a sauce pan, melt the coconut oil. Add in the coconut sugar, apple sauce and vanilla and mix until smooth. Stir in the thickened flax eggs and chopped apples.
In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon.
Add the dry ingredients to the apple mixture and stir until just combined.
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan.
Bake the cake for 35 minutes. Cover the loaf with aluminum foil and continue baking for about another 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cook for a while before carefully removing the cake from the pan and allowing it to completely on a wire rack.
While the bread is cooling you can prepare the maple glaze.
In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup of icing sugar and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. Continue to add maple syrup (or even non-dairy milk) one teaspoon at a time until you get a thick, but spreadable glaze.
Spread the glaze evenly over the cooled apple cake.
Slice and serve.

If you want to freeze this bread ahead of time, don't glaze it until you thaw and are ready to serve.
