Equipment

  • 9×5-inch loaf pan
  • handheld mixer
  • Mixing bowls
  • whisk
  • Cooling rack

Ingredients
  

Apples

  • 1.5 cups peeled & chopped apples (½ inch chunks; about 2 medium apples)
  • ⅓ cup packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Batter

  • 1.75 cups all-purpose flour (spooned & leveled)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (softened to room temperature)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce (at room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ 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, about 3 minutes. Then add the eggs and beat until combined. Mix in the applesauce and vanilla extract.
  • Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, then slowly pour in the milk and mix just until combined.
  • Pour about half of the batter into the loaf pan, layer the apples on top, and then pour the remaining batter.
  • Bake for 60-75 minutes, covering with foil at 30 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
