Apple Cinnamon Bread comes out warm and moist, and holds up beautifully the next day (that is, if it lasts till the next day!). Just make sure to test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of bread — if it doesn’t come out clean, keep the bread in the oven until it yields a truly clean toothpick! My first attempt, I undercooked it!

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅔ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 large apple, peeled and finely chopped

Steps:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Grease and flour a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan.
  3. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl and set aside.
  4. In a stand mixer, combine white sugar and butter until smooth.
  5. Add eggs and vanilla and continue to beat on medium speed until combined.
  6. Add flour and baking powder, then milk.
  7. Pour half the batter into the prepared pan.
  8. Cover with half of the apples.
  9. Pat apples into batter with the back of a spoon.
  10. Sprinkle with half of sugar and cinnamon mixture.
  11. Pour the remaining batter over apple layer; top with remaining apples and add more brown sugar/cinnamon mixture.
  12. Pat topping into the batter with the back of a large spoon.
  13. Bake for 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the middle of the loaf comes out clean.
  14. Cool in pan 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
