Equipment

  • 9×5-inch loaf pan
  • mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • whisk
  • Cooling Rack

Ingredients
  

Apples

  • 1.5 cups peeled & chopped apples (½ inch chunks; about 2 medium apples)
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar packed
  • 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)
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce (at room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup whole milk (at room temperature)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Adjust the oven rack to the lower third position and preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Spray a 9×5-inch 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 large bowl. Set aside. Beat the butter and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy, add the eggs, and beat until combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Add applesauce and vanilla and beat until combined.
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Turn the mixer on low speed, slowly pour in the milk, beat just until combined and don't overmix.
  • Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Spoon the apples and cinnamon/brown sugar juices on top, then pour the remaining batter on top.
  • Bake for 60-75 minutes, covering with foil at 30 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center will come out clean when done. Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack.
  • Once cool, cut into slices and serve. Store bread at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes

Freeze baked & cooled loaf for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
