Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend for gluten-free version)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs (or 2 flax eggs for vegan version)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter (use coconut oil for vegan)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Main Add-ins
- 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh apples (peeled and cored)
Topping
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar (mix of 1 tablespoon granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon)
Instructions
- Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and chop fresh apples into small, bite-sized pieces. Toss them lightly in a cinnamon sugar mix to coat evenly and bring out their flavor.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with granulated sugar, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined, careful not to overmix to keep the bread tender.
- Fold in Apples: Gently fold the cinnamon-coated apple pieces into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Bake: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and sprinkle the top generously with cinnamon sugar. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use fresh, crisp apples for the best texture and flavor.
- Mix just until ingredients combine to keep the bread light and tender.
- Check oven temperatures and start testing for doneness 10 minutes before the end of baking time.
- Adjust cinnamon and nutmeg amounts to suit your spice preference.
- Use a toothpick or cake tester to ensure the bread is fully baked inside.
