Customizing Your Bread

While the classic version of Apple Bread Cinnamon Spice is already delicious, there are plenty of ways to customize it to suit your taste.

Additionally, consider adding other mix-ins like dried cranberries or chocolate chips for a unique twist.

If you're looking to enhance the nutritional value of your bread, you can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour or add in some oats for extra fiber. These adjustments not only add a bit of texture but also make this treat a bit healthier without sacrificing flavor.

Ingredients

For the Apple Bread

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups chopped apples (about 2 medium apples)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.

Mix Dry Ingredients

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.

Cream Butter and Sugar

In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.

Combine Mixtures

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chopped apples and walnuts if using.

Bake

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool and Serve

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!

Storage Tips

To keep your Apple Bread Cinnamon Spice fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature. It should stay moist and delicious for up to three days. If you want to enjoy it for longer, consider wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap and placing it in the freezer. Properly stored, it can last for up to three months.

When you're ready to enjoy your frozen bread, simply thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for a few hours. You can also warm individual slices in the microwave for a few seconds or toast them for a delightful breakfast treat.

Serving Suggestions

Apple Bread Cinnamon Spice is perfect on its own, but you can elevate your serving experience with a few simple additions. Consider spreading a layer of cream cheese or butter on warm slices for a rich, indulgent treat. A sprinkle of powdered sugar or a drizzle of caramel sauce can also add a touch of sweetness.

For a more decadent dessert, serve slices with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or alongside a warm cup of spiced cider. This bread makes a wonderful base for French toast, too—just dip slices in egg and milk mixture and cook until golden brown for a delightful brunch option.
