Homemade Apple Quick Bread

Hi Everyone, are you enjoying all the fresh apples this season?

There is nothing like getting freshly picked apples from the apple orchard like I did to make this Homemade Apple Quick Bread.

This is one recipe that I wanted to make after I took my daughter apple picking early this Fall.

I love how this Homemade Apple Quick Bread is so moist and your house will smell to fragrant with apples and spice when this loaf is baking 🙂

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, I suggest Saigon cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

• 1 cup granulated white sugar
• 1 ½ cups shredded, peeled apple, use a variety that is good for baking like Granny Smith, Fuji, Jonagolds, Honeycrisp, Braeburn, or Winesap
• ¼ cup Canola oil
• ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans, optional
• apple slices (about ¼ inch thick), optional, for topping the loaf before baking

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, I suggest Saigon cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 large egg, slightly beaten

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Using cooking spray, grease a 8 x 4 x 2-inch loaf pan, set it aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, baking soda, Kosher salt, baking powder, and ground nutmeg, set aside.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg, granulated white sugar, peeled and shredded apples, and Canola oil. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients mixture. The batter should be lumpy and not over-mixed. If you wish to add the optional nuts, fold in, until mixed. Pour into the greased loaf pan.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes. To test for doneness, using a toothpick or knife, insert and it should come out clean. Cool in the pan, in a wire rack for 5 minutes, then remove from pan and cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!
