Easy Homemade Apple Cinnamon Bread Tips

I mix together my dry ingredients in a large bowl and set them aside. I then get the wet ingredients going in the stand mixer with my paddle attachment (or use a hand mixer if that’s what you have) . It makes it super easy to slowly add in the dry ingredients. you don’t want to over mix the bread.

Your large eggs should be at room temperature. I like to use all purpose flour and yes a combo of white sugar and brown sugar. If you decide to make other sugar substitutions just make sure they are a granulated sugar. Liquid sugars, like honey are not recommended.

A good vanilla extract takes any baked good over the top and this cinnamon apple bread is no exception. Don’t leave it out. I like to use finely chopped apples for this recipe, but if you like smaller pieces then grated would work too. I just really enjoy the texture of juicy apple pieces.

To get these size pieces, I slide the apple into thin slices then break those down further so I have finely chopped apple. You don’t want the pieces too thick. I then toss them in cinnamon sugar.

I also reserve a few extra pieces for the top of the loaf. Loaf cakes such as this can take a while to bake, so just be sure you are checking it at the center of the loaf. Mine take around 60 minutes. Your bread is done when just a few moist crumbs are on the toothpick when you check it.

Apple Cinnamon Bread Substitutions

The best apples for this are whatever one you like. Literally almost any apple variety will work here. Pink lady apples, granny smith apples and my personal favorite- honey crisp apples are all a wise choice! The only thing I say is a must is to use a nice firm apple because you don’t want them just disappearing into the bread.

For the oil- I used vegetable oil, but you can use any neutral tasting oil you’d bake with. I prefer vegetable oil for baking, If you’d like to cut the oil, then replace just half of it with unsweetened applesauce. It works great here because the apple really comes through.

For the milk in this recipe, I just use what I have. I’ve used everything from almond or cashew milk to whole milk. It’s really just to add moisture.

I have not tested this recipe with gluten free flour, but if you do, make sure you use one that’s labeled as being okay for 1:1 substitution for all purpose flour. If you’d like to add whole grains, you could replace half the all purpose flour with whole wheat flour.

Storing Leftover Apple Bread

After you lead the bread cool on a wire rack, you’ll want to wrap it in aluminum foil then place it in a zip top bag. It’s super important to keep the air out so your bread will stay fresh. It will last on the counter for 3-4 days. After that you could slice it and put each slice between parchment paper and freeze it in a freezer bag.
