Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Apples
- 1 cup diced apples (with or without peels, your choice)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure the bread bakes evenly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat together the canola oil, eggs, white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Do not add the apples yet.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and stir gently just until combined, taking care not to overmix.
- Add Apples: Fold in the diced apples, stirring lightly to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
- Prepare Pan: Grease an 8-inch loaf pan well to prevent sticking and transfer the batter into the pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 60 minutes, or until the bread turns golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Note that some ovens may require up to 70 minutes.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the bread to cool before removing it from the pan to prevent breaking.
Notes
- You can leave the apple peels on or peel them off; both ways result in delicious bread.
- Baking time may vary by oven. While many find 60 minutes sufficient, some ovens may require up to 70 minutes.
- Use an 8-inch loaf pan for best results.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the bread tender.
