Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup melted butter or oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and dice fresh apples into small cubes. Toss them with ground cinnamon and a tablespoon of sugar to enhance their natural sweetness and spice.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour), baking powder, salt, and any additional spices like nutmeg if desired, ensuring even distribution.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat eggs with melted butter or oil, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly fluffy to create a moist base for the bread.
  4. Incorporate the Apple Mixture: Fold the cinnamon-spiced apples into the wet ingredients. Then gently mix the wet and dry ingredients together, being careful not to overmix to keep the bread light and tender.
  5. Bake Until Golden: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and the top is a beautiful golden brown.

Notes

  • Choose firm apple varieties like Granny Smith, Fuji, or Honeycrisp for best texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense bread.
  • Use room temperature eggs and butter for smooth blending.
  • Fresh spices enhance aroma and flavor.
  • Start checking for doneness around 45 minutes as oven temperatures vary.
