Equipment

  • handheld or stand mixer
  • Mixing Bowls
  • whisk
  • Cooling Rack

Ingredients
  

Apples

  • 1.5 cups peeled & chopped apples ½ inch chunks; about 2 medium apples
  • ⅓ cup packed brown sugar light or dark
  • 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Batter

  • 1.75 cups all-purpose flour spooned & leveled
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup whole milk at room temperature

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Adjust the oven rack to the lower third position and preheat to 350°F (177°C). Spray the loaf pan with nonstick spray.
  • Stir the apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon together. Set aside.
  • Whisk the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Set aside. Beat the butter and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Add eggs and beat, then add applesauce and vanilla.
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mix on low speed, and then add milk cautiously to avoid lumps. The batter will be sticky and thick.
  • Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spoon the apple mixture on top, and then add the remaining batter. Swirl with a knife.
  • Bake for 60-75 minutes, covering with foil after 30 minutes if too brown. Check doneness with a toothpick.
  • Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing.
  • Store bread at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Notes

Bread can be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Slicing while warm can cause the bread to fall apart.
