In a jug combine the milk with the lemon juice and leave to sit while you carry out the next steps. This is your vegan buttermilk.

Peel the apples, remove and discard the cores, then dice the apples into 1cm (0.5") pieces.

In a large mixing bowl combine the flour, sugar and baking powder. Next add the melted vegan butter, vanilla extract and the buttermilk from earlier, then stir until you have a smooth batter.
