Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ¾ cup milk
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Main Add-ins
- 1 ½ cups fresh apples, peeled and diced
Instructions
- Prepare the apples: Wash, peel, and dice fresh apples into small cubes to ensure even distribution and juicy bursts in the bread.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in milk, vegetable oil or melted butter, and vanilla extract to form a smooth liquid base.
- Mix wet and dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently stir until just combined, taking care not to overmix to keep the bread light and tender.
- Fold in apples: Carefully fold the diced apples into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed without being crushed.
- Bake: Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and enjoying.
Notes
- Use fresh, firm apples for the best texture and juiciness.
- Stir batter gently to avoid a dense bread texture.
- Check doneness with a toothpick near the center.
- Allow bread to cool completely to deepen flavors and ease slicing.
- Optional: sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top before baking for a sweet, crunchy crust.
