Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Applesauce (unsweetened)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and finely chopped)
- 0.5 cup Walnuts or pecans (optional, chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan with butter or nonstick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk the eggs until lightly beaten. Add the vegetable oil, applesauce, and vanilla extract, and whisk to combine.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a denser bread.
Fold in the chopped apples and nuts (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 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
