Description
A straightforward recipe for moist apple bread.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup grated apple (about 1 medium apple)
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a standard loaf pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a large bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vegetable oil until combined.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the grated apple and chopped walnuts, if using.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith for the best texture.
- You can substitute butter for vegetable oil, but the bread may be slightly denser.
- For a glaze, mix 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon milk and drizzle over cooled bread.
