Fall calls for baking with apple and cinnamon.
Aside from the classic apple pie recipe, this apple cinnamon loaf is the quintessential dessert for any crisp autumn day.
It’s as easy as baking a banana loaf, with the exception of apples instead of bananas. The unfailing combination of apple and cinnamon creates thick, soft slices that will comfort every taste bud.
With a 20-min prep and 50-min bake, this loaf is simple, delicious and perfect to share with your family and friends.
Prep time | 20 mins.
Bake time | 50 mins.
Yields | 10-12 slices
INGREDIENTS
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup milk
- 2 apples, peeled and chopped
- 2 tsp cinnamon
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×5 in. loaf pan so the batter doesn’t stick.
- In a large bowl, mix together sugar and butter. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Then, add the vanilla extract.
- In a small bowl, mix together the flour and baking powder. Then, add it to the butter mixture and combine well.
- Add the milk to the batter and mix until smooth.
- Pour half the batter into the loaf pan, then add half the chopped apples onto the batter and push the apples lightly into the batter. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cinnamon on top of this layer.
- Then, add the remaining half of the batter, then the remaining half of the chopped apples. Sprinkle another teaspoon of cinnamon on the top.
- Bake the loaf for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out of the loaf clean.
- Let cool in the loaf pan for 10 minutes before lifting it out of the pan. Continue to let cool for another 10 minutes before slicing it.
- Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea while it’s still warm!
