Ingredients
Dry ingredients
- 1 + ¾ cup all purpose flour
- 1 + ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet ingredients
- 2 apples
- 2 eggs, large
- ½ cup sugar, white
- ¼ cup light brown sugar, not packed
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted but not hot 1 stick
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cinnamon sugar
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a standard loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
Dry ingredients
- Add all dry ingredients into a small bowl and whisk until combined.
Prep apples
- Chop an apple into ¼-inch cubes and measure 1 cup. Grate apples using the coarse side of your box grater and measure 1 ½ cup grated apples.
Batter
- Add eggs, white sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl and whisk for 90 seconds. Add melted butter and vanilla extract and continue whisking for 30 seconds. Pro tip: Measure packed brown sugar if using tart apples.
- Using a wooden spoon, stir in the dry ingredients until combined (the batter will be thick).
- Stir in the grated and chopped apples. The moisture in the apples will loosen the batter. Transfer batter into the prepared loaf pan, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly on top. Tip: To make cinnamon sugar, stir together white sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
Bake
- Transfer to oven and bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes clean. Place pan on a wire rack to cool completey.

Notes
Choose the Right Apples: Opt for firm apples with a sweet-tart flavor, like Grolden delicious, Honeycrisp, Fuji or Granny smith. These varieties hold their shape well when cooked.
Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can lead to tough apple cinnamon bread. Mix until the dry and wet ingredients are just combined to achieve a tender texture.
No need to peel - The peel adds texture, flavor and nutrition.
