Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat the sugar and eggs until smooth. Then add the vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract, mixing well to combine.
  3. Combine wet and dry mixes: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  4. Fold in apples: Carefully fold the chopped apples into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout.
  5. Prepare to bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
  6. Bake the bread: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and serve: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for balanced sweetness and a nice texture contrast.
  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to avoid dense bread.
  • Optionally, sprinkle additional cinnamon sugar on top before baking for a sweet crust.
  • Store the bread wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
