Apple Cinnamon Bread
Description
Apple Cinnamon Bread mixes grated peeled apples and applesauce into a batter with sugar, vegetable oil, and vanilla, then incorporates flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, raisins or chocolate chips, and walnuts. Baking in a greased loaf pan at 350°F for 50 to 55 minutes produces a loaf with mild sweetness and a soft, moist texture. The grated peeled apples break down well during baking, distributing the fresh apple flavor evenly without stringy bits.
The cinnamon adds warmth alongside the natural apple sweetness, while optional raisins or walnuts bring bursts of chewiness and crunch. The bread can be enjoyed plain or spread with butter for breakfast or a light snack. It's a good way to use crisp apples like Honeycrisp grated finely for best texture.
Before grating apples, peeling is important to avoid tough skins in the bread. Alternatively, small diced apples can be used, but take care to prevent browning by soaking in lemon water. Measuring flour by spooning and leveling ensures the bread stays tender rather than dense. This straightforward loaf provides a cozy apple-cinnamon flavor suitable for cooler days or anytime you want a fruit-enhanced quick bread.
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup applesauce
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup apple I used Honeycrisp, grated
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ tablespoon cinnamon
- ½ cup raisins optional, or vegan chocolate chips
- ½ cup walnuts optional, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, mix together the applesauce, oil, sugar, apple, and vanilla in a bowl. Then add the remaining ingredients and whisk until thoroughly combined.
- Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and bake for 50 to 55 minutes.
Notes
- Peel apples before grating to avoid stringy skin pieces in the bread.
- Small diced apples may be used instead of grated; soak diced pieces in lemon water to prevent browning before mixing.
- Measure flour by spooning into a cup and leveling off with a knife to avoid dense, dry bread.
