Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
Add-ins
- 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and chopped into small pieces
- Prepare the batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and oil until well blended. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Fold in the chopped apples gently to evenly distribute them without overmixing.
- Bake the bread: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan, then pour the batter into the pan, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the bread is golden brown on top.
- Cool and slice: Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. This helps the bread set nicely and prevents it from crumbling when cut.
Notes
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a balanced sweetness and slight tartness.
- Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep the bread light and tender.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a handful of chopped nuts.
- Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
