How to Make Apple Cinnamon Bread

Step 1: Prepare the Batter

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan.
2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
3. In another large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla, and mix well.
4. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk. Stir until just combined.
5. Fold in the diced apples gently.

Step 2: Assemble the Bread

6. In a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon for the swirl.
7. Pour half of the batter into the loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over it. Repeat with the remaining batter and top with the rest of the cinnamon sugar.
8. Use a knife to gently swirl the cinnamon sugar into the batter.

Step 3: Bake and Cool

9. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
10. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve warm with butter or honey.
• Pair with a cup of tea or coffee for a cozy treat.
• Toast slices and top with cream cheese or peanut butter.

Tips for the Best Apple Cinnamon Bread

• Use Fresh Apples: Crisp varieties like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith work best.
• Don’t Overmix: Stir just until combined for a soft texture.
• Let it Cool: Allow the bread to cool fully before slicing to keep it moist.

Storing and Freezing

• Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Refrigerator: Keep it in the fridge for up to a week.
• Freezer: Wrap slices in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months.
