Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
Wet Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
Fruit and Toppings
- 1 1/2 cups chopped apples
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (natural)
- Additional cinnamon (natural) for sprinkling
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan and set aside. Chop the apples into small pieces and toss with a bit of cinnamon and brown sugar for added flavor, ensuring even distribution in the bread.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and natural gelling agent to create a balanced and flavorful dry mix.
- Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, beat the eggs with sugar and vegetable oil until smooth and creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract for a warm, inviting aroma.
- Bring it all together: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mix until just combined, avoiding overmixing to maintain a tender crumb. Gently fold in the spiced apple pieces, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Layer and bake: Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan, sprinkle a generous layer of brown sugar and cinnamon on top, then add the remaining batter and smooth the surface. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and enjoy: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely to set the texture and prevent sogginess.
Notes
- Use fresh, crisp apples for the best texture and natural sweetness.
- Mix the batter only until ingredients are combined to keep the bread light and tender.
- Layering brown sugar in the center creates delightful caramelized pockets.
- Check the bread starting at 50 minutes to avoid overbaking and dryness.
- Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing for cleaner cuts and enhanced flavor.
