Description

This classic homemade apple bread is packed with sweet apple and cinnamon flavors, making it a comforting treat perfect for breakfast, snack, or dessert. It's easy to prepare with simple pantry ingredients, bakes into a moist, tender loaf, and freezes well for future enjoyment.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups finely diced apple
  • 2 cups flour (spelt, white, or oat)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk of choice
  • 3 1/2 tbsp oil or applesauce
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Cinnamon: You can either mix the cinnamon directly with the dry ingredients or stir it into 2 tablespoons of the milk to swirl into the batter for a marbled appearance before baking.
  2. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and sugar.
  4. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the diced apples, milk, oil or applesauce, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture and stir until just combined into a smooth batter.
  5. Prepare Baking Pan: Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan to prevent sticking. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top evenly.
  6. Bake the Bread: Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the bread to cool in the pan. For best flavor and texture, cover the loaf with a cloth and let it rest overnight before slicing.
  8. Storage: Leftover bread slices can be frozen for later use. Optionally, frost with your favorite icing or a simple glaze if desired.

Notes

  • The cinnamon can be mixed into the dry ingredients or swirled into the batter with milk for a visual effect.
  • Using applesauce instead of oil makes the bread lighter and reduces fat content.
  • You can substitute the flour type with spelt, white, or oat flour depending on preference.
  • Allowing the bread to rest overnight enhances flavor and texture.
  • Freezing leftovers is a great way to preserve freshness.
  • Optional icing or glaze adds sweetness but is not necessary.
