Here’s everything you’ll need to make this Apple Cinnamon Bread

How to Make Apple Cinnamon Bread

Step One

The first thing you need to do is prepare the oven and the pan. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a regular baking pan.

Step Two

Then mix the dry ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Cream the butter and sugar. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.

Step Three

Now mix the dry and wet ingredients. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, until smooth. Then add the apples. Gently fold in the diced apples. Pour the mixture into the pan. Mix in the brown sugar and excess cinnamon, then sprinkle the mixture evenly over the top.

Step Four

Now it’s time to bake. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool and serve. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Slice and enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Tips for Making Apple Cinnamon Bread

Don’t overmix the batter this keeps the bread soft and fluffy.

Sprinkle a little flour on the apples before adding them to the batter to prevent sinking.

Add chopped walnuts or pecans for a crunchy texture.

For a healthier option, swap half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.

Serving Suggestion

I like to serve this bread with cold drinks for breakfast, such as tea or coffee, and for the little ones, warm milk or cocoa. During the day, I like to serve it with fruit juice or a refreshing liquid.

Frequently Asked Questions

Peeling is optional. Peeled apples give a softer texture, while unpeeled apples add extra fiber and color.
