Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups peeled and chopped apples (about 2 medium apples)
Topping (Optional)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar for topping
  • 1 tsp extra cinnamon for topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs lightly. Add the oil, milk, and vanilla, and stir to mix.
  4. Pour the wet mix into the dry mix. Stir just until combined, avoiding overmixing. Fold in the chopped apples.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. If desired, mix the brown sugar and extra cinnamon, and sprinkle on top for a sweet crust.
Baking
  1. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
Cooling
  1. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and cool on a rack. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use firm apples like Fuji or Honeycrisp for best texture. Chop apples evenly for consistent baking. Do not overmix batter to keep the bread tender. Allow cooling before slicing for better structure. Can be made into muffins; bake at 350°F for 18-22 minutes.
