Prep 15 min · Cook 45 min · Total 2 hr 10 min · Makes 1 9x5-inch loaf (10 slices)
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups peeled and diced apples
Directions
- Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Coat a 9x5-inch loaf pan with grease, then put it aside.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the apples, vanilla extract, milk, vegetable oil, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, and baking powder until everything is evenly combined.
- Add the flour to the bowl with the wet mixture, and stir only until the batter comes together. Stop there, because overmixing will make the loaf tougher.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick poked into the middle comes out clean. Let the bread rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then move it to a wire rack to finish cooling completely before you slice and serve it.
