Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups diced apples
- 1 cup granulated sugar
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup brown sugar
Spices and Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare your kitchen workspace by preheating the oven to exactly 350°F (175°C) and greasing a standard loaf pan thoroughly.
- Grab a large mixing bowl and combine 2 cups flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Whisk these dry ingredients until completely blended.
- In a separate bowl, melt ½ cup unsalted butter and whisk it together with 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and well-incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until your batter just comes together. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
- Carefully fold 2 cups of diced apples into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout.
- Transfer the entire batter into your prepared loaf pan, spreading it smoothly with a spatula.
- Mix ½ cup brown sugar with 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg and sprinkle this sweet mixture across the top of your batter.
- Slide the pan into the preheated oven and bake for 60-70 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should emerge completely clean.
- Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan for at least 30 minutes before attempting to slice.
Notes
- Choose firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture and flavor balance in the bread.
- Dice apples into small, uniform pieces so they distribute evenly throughout the batter and cook consistently.
- Check the bread’s doneness early to prevent overcooking, as ovens can vary in temperature and baking times.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with a cup-for-cup gluten-free flour blend and ensure all other ingredients are gluten-free.
