Easy Apple Bread
There's lots of fresh apples (2 medium Granny Smiths) in this lightly sweet bread, perfect for afternoon tea..
Ingredients:
- 1 2/3 cup all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- pinch of nutmeg (optional)
- ½ cup milk (I use reduced fat)
- 2 eggs
- 3 Tablespoons vegetable oil (I use avocado oil)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups Granny Smith apples, cut in ¼-inch pieces
- Topping: 2 teaspoons sugar + 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Combine dry ingredients (flour through spices) in a large bowl.
- In small bowl, combine milk, eggs, oil, and vanilla.
- Peel and core apples and cut into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Fold the milk mixture into the flour mixture until barely combined. Do not over-mix.
- Gently fold in apples. Batter will be thick and chunky.
- Spread batter into the loaf pan. Smooth the top and sprinkle with sugar/cinnamon mixture.
- Bake for one hour. Cover the top with foil after about 35 minutes to prevent burning.
Happy New Year Jenny!
I’ve been making many of your bread recipes since the pandemic. So good! Thank you.
I have a question about your apple bread. My hubby is a type 2 diabetic. Could I use a sugar substitute for the white sugar for this recipe, and is there one you can recommend that works well with baking?
Thank you.

I’m sorry, I have no experience with sugar substitutes.
I was an avid watcher of your tv show and so glad I can get great recipes. I made your no milk,butter,eggs chocolate cake for my grandson’s 4th Birthday and it was a hit with everyone. I am especially looking forward to making your 90 minute whole wheat bread and the cinnamon raisin bread tomorrow. Thankyou, Patricia
