Ingredients
- All-purpose flour: 3 cups
- Granulated sugar: 1 cup
- Baking powder: 1 tablespoon
- Ground cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/2 teaspoon
- Milk: 1 1/4 cups
- Egg: 1 large
- Vegetable oil: 1/4 cup
- Apple, peeled and diced: 2 cups
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Step 3: In a separate bowl, combine the milk, egg, and oil. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Step 4: Gently fold in the diced apples.
- Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Step 6: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Store completely cooled bread tightly wrapped at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- For a warm, comforting treat, gently reheat slices in the microwave for 15-20 seconds.
- Serve slices with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra-special fall dessert.
- Gently fold in the diced apples to avoid releasing too much moisture and preventing a soggy bread.
