Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
Dry Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Add-ins
- 3 cups diced Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pans: Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease two 9×5-inch bread loaf pans with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined. Then whisk in both granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until thoroughly mixed into the wet ingredients.
- Fold in Apples: Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the diced Granny Smith apples into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed without overmixing.
- Divide and Bake: Pour the batter equally into the two prepared loaf pans. Bake in the 300-degree oven for 90 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
- Cool the Bread: Remove the pans from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes before removing the loaves from the pans. Allow the loaves to cool completely on the wire rack before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For extra moisture, you can brush the tops of the loaves with melted butter after baking.
- If you want a spicier flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or cloves with the cinnamon.
- Use tart apples like Granny Smith for better texture and balanced sweetness.
- Store bread wrapped tightly at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
