Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups apples, peeled and finely chopped
- 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Whisk well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, unsweetened applesauce, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until no streaks of flour remain. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped apples and walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, use the parchment paper to lift the loaf out and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice the bread into thick slices and serve. Enjoy as is, or with a slather of butter or cream cheese!
