Step by Step to Make Apple Bread

One of the delicacies that we can find in a bakery is apple bread. This bread, with its soft texture, its sweet flavor and its unmistakable aroma, is a perfect option for a special breakfast or afternoon snack. In this guide, we'll learn how to make this delight at home.

Ingredients

• 2 medium apples
• 1 cup of sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups of wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Preparation

First, preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. While the oven is heating, grease a loaf pan with butter and sprinkle with flour. This will prevent the bread from sticking to the pan.

Then, peel the apples and cut them into small cubes. Book it.

In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.

In another bowl, mix the wheat flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add this mixture to the bowl with the butter and sugar, stirring just until the dry ingredients are moistened.

Add the chopped apples and walnuts (if using) to the batter. Gently mix until the apples and nuts are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the surface with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.

Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack. This apple bread is delicious served warm, but it can also be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.

Tips and Variations

For an extra kick of flavor, you can add a cinnamon sugar crumble topping to the bread before baking. To make the frosting, combine 1/4 cup sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons melted butter in a small bowl. Spread the mixture over the bread dough before placing it in the oven.

If you prefer, you can replace the nuts with other nuts of your choice, such as almonds or cashews. You can also add raisins or dried cranberries to the dough for an extra touch of sweetness.

This apple bread is delicious served with butter, cream cheese or even a slice of cheddar cheese for a contrast of flavors. Also try serving with a cup of coffee or tea for the perfect afternoon snack.
