Description
A moist and flavorful apple bread that combines the sweetness of apples with warm spices, perfect for fall.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups chopped apples (Pink Lady, Gala, Honeycrisp – peeled and chopped, about 2 apples)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8 x 5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar and cinnamon and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar together until well combined.
- Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined. The batter will be thick.
- Gently fold in the chopped apples.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle about three-quarters of the brown sugar mixture over the batter.
- Carefully spread the remaining batter on top of the brown sugar mixture.
- Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar over the top and gently swirl it into the batter using a knife or spoon.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean (or with just a few moist crumbs).
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.
Notes
Consider adding nuts or a drizzle of icing for a personalized touch.
