Homemade Apple Quick Bread

Hi Everyone, are you enjoying all the fresh apples so far 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 🙂

Ingredients

cooking spray
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, I suggest Saigon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 large egg slightly beaten
1 cup granulated white sugar
1 1/2 cups shredded, peeled apple, use a variety that is good for baking like Granny Smith, Fuji, Jonagolds, Honeycrisp, Braeburn or Winesap
1/4 cup Canola oil
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, optional
apple slices (about 1/4 inch thick), optional, for topping the loaf before baking
1 tablespoon Demerara sugar, optional, sprinkled on top before baking
