Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • Wet Ingredients

    • 2 large eggs
    • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
    • Fruits

      • 2 medium apples, peeled and diced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oven and pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and cinnamon until evenly combined to distribute the cinnamon and sugar uniformly.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the vegetable oil until well mixed.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until incorporated. Do not overmix to maintain a tender crumb.
  5. Add apples: Fold in the diced apples gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Bake the bread: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool the bread: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing to avoid crumbling.

Notes

  • Use tart apples like Granny Smith for a nice balance of sweetness and acidity.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the wet ingredients.
  • If you prefer a glaze, drizzle a simple powdered sugar glaze over cooled bread.
  • Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • This bread can be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature before serving.
