Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups white granulated sugar
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • ⅔ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup apples, diced and peeled

Topping

  • ⅔ cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your loaf pans to prevent the bread from sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the 2 cups sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a stand mixer bowl or a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, milk, and vegetable oil just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix gently until the batter is just moist. Then fold in the diced and peeled apples along with the cinnamon.
  5. Fill Loaf Pans: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pans, filling each to about two-thirds full to allow room for the bread to rise.
  6. Add Cinnamon Sugar Topping: In a small bowl, combine the ⅔ cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the batter in the loaf pans. Use a knife to gently swirl the cinnamon sugar into the top layer of batter.
  7. Bake: Place the loaf pans in the oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the loaf; it should come out clean when done.

Notes

  • Ensure apples are peeled and diced evenly for consistent baking.
  • Filling the loaf pans two-thirds full prevents overflow during baking.
  • Swirling the cinnamon sugar topping adds a sweet, crunchy texture to the bread’s crust.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature. Great with butter or cream cheese.
  • Store leftovers wrapped tightly to keep bread moist for up to 3 days.
