Ingredients
– 1 and 1/2 cups chopped apples (about 2 medium apples, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch chunks)
– 1/3 cup packed light or dark brown sugar
– 1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
– 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs at room temperature
– 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce at room temperature (can substitute with plain yogurt or sour cream)
– 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup whole milk at room temperature
Instructions
1-Preheat your oven: preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan to keep things from sticking. This step helps your bread come out just right.
2-Prepare dry ingredients: in a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until everything mixes well.
3-Prepare wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs and stir in the vegetable oil and applesauce until smooth.
4-Mix wet and dry: Now, slowly add the wet mix to the dry one, stirring gently until no lumps remain. Fold in the chopped apples to spread the flavor evenly through the batter. Pour it into your prepared pan and smooth the top.
5-Bake the bread: Bake for 50-60 minutes, checking with a toothpick to see if it’s done. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before moving it to a rack. For dietary tweaks, try flax eggs for vegan versions or gluten-free flour if needed.
