Cinnamon Apple Bread Recipe
This cinnamon apple bread takes 10 minutes to prep and is made with fresh apples, coated in cinnamon, and folded into the batter and baked.
Servings: 10 slices
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 large apple peeled and small diced (about 2 cups) I used honey crisp
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup avocado oil
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Line a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on each side to use as a sling to remove the bread once baked.
- Toss the chopped apple with cinnamon and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, oil, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla to combine.
- Fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined. Gently fold in the cinnamon-coated apple pieces.
- Scrape batter into the prepared pan. Bake until golden and well risen or until a cake-tester inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean, about 55-60 minutes.
- Let the bread cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 30 minutes before removing from the pan with the parchment sling. Let cool to room temperature before slicing.
Notes
-
- Make a parchment paper sling. Not only will this prevent the bread from sticking to the pan, but you'll be able to easily lift the apple bread out!
-
- Let the bread cool before slicing. I know it's tempting, but you have to let the apple bread cool! Warm bread won't have the best texture. It'll be gummy!
- Storage:This apple bread can be stored at room temperature, in a sealed container, or wrapped in foil, for up to four days. If you want to keep it longer, you can store it in the fridge.
- Reheat: You can pop a slice in the microwave for 15-20 seconds. If you're reheating the whole loaf, I recommend warming it up in in a 350˚F oven since the microwave dries things out.
- Freezing: To freeze, wrap the cooled bread tightly in two layers of cling film/plastic wrap and then place it in a freezer-safe bag. Apple bread can be frozen for up to 3 months. When you're ready to eat it, thaw the bread overnight in the fridge and bring it to room temperature before serving.
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsweetened applesauce
½ cup avocado oil
2 large eggs at room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup apple grated, from about 1 large apple
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Line a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on each side to use as a sling to remove the bread once baked.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, add sugar, applesauce and oil, then whisk until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, whisking after each addition. Add vanilla and mix until combined.
Using a rubber spatula, fold in the grated apple until it is evenly incorporated. Add the dry ingredients and fold by hand until no streaks of flour remain.
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until golden and well risen or until a cake-tester inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean, about 50-60 minutes.
Let the bread cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 30 minutes before removing from the pan with the parchment sling. Let cool to room temperature before slicing.
