Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups tart apples, peeled, cored, and diced (e.g. Granny Smith, Fuji, Honeycrisp)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 pinch of salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk (or non-dairy/low-fat milk)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar (for optional glaze)
- Milk (for optional glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
- Peel, core, and dice about 2 cups of your chosen apples. Toss them in a bit of lemon juice to prevent browning and set them aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- In another bowl, beat 2 large eggs, then stir in 1 cup of milk and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; lumps are okay!
- Gently fold the diced apples into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For a sweet finishing touch, you can drizzle a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and a bit of milk over the top once it’s completely cooled.
