How to Make Apple Bread

Ingredients:

• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 2 cups chopped apples (Pink Lady, Gala, Honeycrisp – peeled and chopped, about 2 apples)

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8 x 5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. Set it aside.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar and cinnamon. Set this mixture aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar together until well combined.
4. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
5. Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined; the batter will be thick.
6. Gently fold in the chopped apples.
7. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle about three-quarters of the brown sugar mixture over the batter.
8. Carefully spread the remaining batter on top of the brown sugar mixture. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar over the top and gently swirl it into the batter using a knife or spoon.
9. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. If the bread is browning too quickly, tent it with foil for the last 10 to 15 minutes.
10. Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving.

How to Serve Apple Bread

Apple Bread is delicious on its own but can also be served with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature for the best flavors. It also makes a great addition to a brunch spread.

How to Store Apple Bread

To store Apple Bread, keep it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you want it to last longer, refrigerate it for up to a week or freeze it for up to three months. Just make sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil before freezing.

Tips to Make Apple Bread

• Use a mix of sweet and tart apples for added flavor.
• To keep the bread moist, do not overmix the batter once you add the dry ingredients.
• For an extra touch, consider adding chopped nuts or raisins for added texture and flavor.

Variation

You can try adding spices like nutmeg or allspice for a different flavor profile. Also, consider glazing the bread with a simple icing made from powdered sugar and milk for a sweet finish.
