Preparing the Batter:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the Loaf Pan: Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
3. 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.
4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat 2 eggs. Add 1/2 cup of vegetable oil and stir well.

Combining Ingredients:

5. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined—do not overmix.
6. Add Apples: Fold in 2 cups of peeled and chopped apples, ensuring even distribution.

Baking Process:

7. Pour into the Pan: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
8. 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.
9. Cool: Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a cooling rack.

Serving:

10. Slice and enjoy the bread warm or at room temperature, plain or with a spread of butter.
