Preparation: 20 minutes
Cook time: 1 hour
Servings: 8 to 10
Substitutions:
* 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil, 2 tablespoons of water, and 2 teaspoons of baking powder per egg is the best sub for baking
** Almond/Coconut flour is the best sub for baking
*** Soy milk is the best sub for baking
Ingredients:
Batter:
- ½ cup of unsalted butter softened at room temperature
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs*
- 2 tsp of vanilla extract
- 1½ cups of all-purpose flour**
- ½ tsp of baking powder
- ½ tsp of salt
- ½ cup of milk***
Apple mixture:
- 1 large or 2 small honey crisp apples, peeled and diced
- ⅓ cup of brown sugar
- 1 tsp of cinnamon
For toppings:
- 4 tbsp of brown sugar
- 1 tbsp of flour**
- ½ tsp of cinnamon
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease and line a 9×5 inch loaf pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl, with a wooden spoon mix together the flour, salt, and baking powder and set aside.
- In another large bowl, using a handheld electric whisk, cream together the sugar and butter for about a minute, then add the eggs and vanilla. Whisk until incorporated. Then lastly add the milk and dry ingredients. Mix until combined (you might need to switch to a spatula halfway through) then set the batter aside while you work on the remaining components.
- In a bowl, toss together the apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon, and set aside. In a separate small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour and set that aside.
- Spread half the batter in your prepared pan, layer half of the apple mixture, and follow that with the remaining batter and remaining apples. Try to nestle them in the batter. Finally, sprinkle the top with the brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour mixture.
- Bake for about an hour, then allow to cool on a wire rack.
Note: If the bread is getting too dark halfway through, cover with foil and continue to bake.
