Servings: 1 9x5 loaf
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 3 tsp ground cinnamon, divided
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups peeled and diced apples (about two medium apples)
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (see notes for a sweeter option)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/3 cup melted butter (or neutral flavored oil)
- 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk (or DF milk of choice)
Cinnamon-Sugar Topping
- 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Spray an 9 x 5" (or similar) loaf pan with cooking spray, and/or line with parchment paper.
- To prepare apples, peel them and dice into small cubes. Toss 2 cups of diced apples with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon until evenly coated.
- In a small bowl, stir together all dry ingredients, except apples.
- In a large bowl, stir together all wet ingredients.
- Add dry ingredients to wet, and stir just until combined. Gently stir in diced apples (do not over-stir batter).
- Pour batter into prepared pan. Stir together cinnamon and sugar topping, and evenly sprinkle over top of batter.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (bake time will vary by pan, so be sure to check the center – a smaller volume pan will need a longer bake time).
- Allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, before carefully transferring to a wire cooling rack to finish cooling. Tip: parchment lined pan makes for easy removal – simply lift out of the pan using the edges of the parchment paper.
Notes
For a sweeter, more dessert-like bread, increase sugar to 2/3 or 3/4 cup.
For a dairy free and vegan option, substitute dairy-free milk and butter (or use a neutral flavored oil in place of butter).
