Equipment
- 8" x 4" Loaf Pan
Ingredients
- 204g (1 ½ cups) all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cups vegetable or canola oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups finely chopped apples peeled & deseed
- 4 oz (½ cup) unsweetened apple sauce
- 2 large eggs room temperature
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F / 176°C. Lightly grease the loaf pan (8"x 4") with softened butter & flour or line the inside of the pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl combine flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg & baking powder together. Set aside until ready to use. (I highly recommend weighing your flour and sifting the dry ingredients before adding to the wet ingredients, this will make the batter fluffy and not lumpy).
- In a large separate bowl: add white sugar, eggs and beat until pale yellow. Add vanilla extract, applesauce and oil. Mix everything together until combined. Add dry ingredients and mix. Add the finely chopped apples into the bowl and gently toss them together with a spatula.
- Transfer the batter to the pan. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick placed in the center of the bread comes out clean (tent with aluminum foil after 30 minutes). Remove pan from the oven and rest the bread in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring the bread to a baking rack to finish cooling.
