Dry Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg optional
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ¼ cup milk dairy or non-dairy
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Filling & Apples:
- 2 apples peeled and diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp recommended)
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon for the swirl
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9x5” loaf pan.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Set aside.
In another bowl, mix eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, oil, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
Fold diced apples into the wet mixture.
Add the dry ingredients into the wet and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
In a small bowl, mix ¼ cup sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon for the swirl.
Pour half the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar on top. Add remaining batter and sprinkle remaining cinnamon sugar. Swirl gently with a knife.
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool in pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Best apples: Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala.
Add-ins: Try chopped nuts, raisins, or a glaze on top.
Store at room temp for 2–3 days, or freeze slices for up to 3 months.
