Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups apple, peeled and chopped (about 2 medium apples)
1/4 cup sugar (for topping)
1 tsp cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C) and grease/flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
-
Prepare the Batter: Cream softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (3-4 minutes). Beat in eggs one at a time, then add milk and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently to avoid overmixing.
-
Add Apples: Fold in the chopped apples evenly throughout the batter.
-
Cinnamon Sugar Topping: Mix 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle evenly over the batter in the loaf pan.
-
Bake: Pour the batter into the loaf pan and bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few crumbs.
-
Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Add-ins: For extra crunch, add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans.
More Cinnamon: For a stronger cinnamon flavor, increase cinnamon to 1 1/2 teaspoons in the batter or topping.
Dried Fruits: Add dried cranberries or raisins for a twist on the traditional recipe.
