Apple Cinnamon Bread

Ingredients

• 2 cups plain all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ¾ teaspoon sea salt
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cup brown sugar or cane sugar
• ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
• ½ cup vegetable oil or other neutral oil
• ¼ cup milk
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 cups peeled and diced apple (about 2 small to medium apples)
• ½ cup chopped walnuts

Method

1. First, set the oven to 350°F and grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan. If desired, line the bottom and two long sides with a sheet of parchment paper.
2. Then, in a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ginger, and nutmeg.
3. Next, in a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, applesauce, oil, milk, and vanilla.
4. After that, add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined, then fold the apples and walnuts into the batter.
5. Finally, move the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until the top springs back to the touch and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. I like to check the loaf after 45 minutes. If the top is golden brown, I cover it with foil for the remaining bake time to prevent further browning.
6. To finish, let cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.
