Prepare the Loaf Pan: Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, 1 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Whisk until blended.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat 2 eggs. Add 1/2 cup of vegetable oil and stir well.
Combining Ingredients:
Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined—do not overmix.
Add Apples: Fold in 2 cups of peeled and chopped apples, ensuring even distribution.
Baking Process:
Pour into the Pan: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. Test with a toothpick—if it comes out clean, the bread is ready.
Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a cooling rack.
Serving:
Slice and enjoy the bread warm or at room temperature, plain or with a spread of butter.
Notes
Use apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best flavor and texture.
For an extra touch, sprinkle oats or a streusel topping before baking.
Tossing chopped apples in flour before adding to the batter can prevent them from sinking.
