Apple Bread is a fantastic choice for fall. The warmth of cinnamon and the sweetness of fresh apples come together to create a delicious treat.

how to make Apple Bread

Ingredients:

• 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)

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour an 8 x 5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. Set this aside.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Set this mixture aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar together until well combined.
4. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
5. Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix this gently until just combined. The batter will be thick.
6. Fold in the chopped apples gently.
7. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle about three-quarters of the brown sugar mixture over the batter.
8. 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.
9. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden, and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. If the bread is browning too quickly, tent it with foil for the last 10 to 15 minutes.
10. Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing and serving.

how to serve Apple Bread

Apple Bread is delightful when served warm. You can enjoy it as is, or add a pat of butter on top for extra flavor. It pairs well with a cup of coffee or tea. For a sweet twist, serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.

how to store Apple Bread

To keep Apple Bread fresh, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. You can store it at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, place it in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also freeze the bread. Wrap it well and store it in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Be sure to thaw it before enjoying!

tips to make Apple Bread

• Use fresh apples for the best flavor. Pink Lady, Gala, or Honeycrisp varieties work great.
• Ensure everything is at room temperature for a well-mixed batter.
• Do not overmix the batter once you add the flour; a few lumps are okay.
• If you prefer a sweeter bread, feel free to add more sugar to the batter.

variation

For a nutty crunch, add ½ cup of chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter. You could also substitute some of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier option.

FAQs

1. Can I use any type of apple for this recipe?
Yes, you can use any apple you like, but varieties like Pink Lady, Gala, or Honeycrisp work best for their flavor and texture.

2. What can I do if my Apple Bread is turning too brown?
If the top is browning too quickly, you can tent the bread with aluminum foil during the last 10 to 15 minutes of baking to prevent it from burning.

3. How can I make sure my bread is cooked through?
Insert a toothpick into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs, your bread is ready. If there is a wet batter on the toothpick, continue baking for a few more minutes.
