Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed)
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.75 cup Whole milk
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Cinnamon sugar (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay.
Fold in the diced apples and, if using, the chopped pecans or walnuts. The batter will be thick.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the top with the cinnamon sugar for a sweet, crunchy crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking for doneness at the 50-minute mark to avoid overbaking.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve. Enjoy your moist cinnamon apple quick bread with your favorite coffee, tea, or as a delightful standalone snack!
