Apple Cinnamon Bread
Description
Apple Cinnamon Bread is prepared by whisking together dry ingredients including all-purpose flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, allspice, and ground cloves. Wet ingredients of eggs, canola oil, applesauce, vanilla extract, and sugar are mixed separately until smooth, then combined with the dry mix. Fresh peeled and chopped apples are gently folded into the batter without overmixing to maintain texture.
The batter is poured into a greased and parchment-lined loaf pan and topped evenly with a mixture of brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon before baking. The bread bakes at 350°F until golden and a thin knife inserted into the center comes out clean, leaving a moist interior with a sweet, slightly crunchy topping.
After baking, the bread is cooled briefly in the pan before being removed to finish cooling. This bread is suitable for breakfast, snacks, or dessert, offering seasonal warmth and fresh apple pieces throughout each slice.
Ingredients
For the Bread
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground allspice
- ¼ teaspoon cloves ground
- 2 egg
- ¼ cup canola oil
- ¼ cup applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups apple about 1½ to 2 apples, peeled and chopped
For the Topping
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan, line the bottom with parchment paper, then grease the parchment paper; set the pan aside.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, allspice and cloves. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the eggs on medium speed for about 30 seconds. Add in the oil, applesauce and vanilla and mix until smooth. Next, add the sugar and mix until well-combined.
- With the mixer on low speed, gradually add in the flour mixture and mix until the flour is just barely combined. Gently fold in the apples with a rubber spatula. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- In a small bowl mix together the brown sugar, granulated sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the batter in the loaf pan. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the loaf is golden and a thin knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool the bread in the pan for 10 minutes, then run a dull knife around the sides of the loaf and turn it out on a cooling rack, remove the parchment paper and place right-side up. Cool completely before slicing. Wrap leftover loaf in plastic wrap and store at room temperature.
