Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (divided)
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or unsweetened applesauce for a lighter version)
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups peeled, cored, and finely diced apples (about 2 medium apples, like Honeycrisp or Gala)
• For optional crumble topping:
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×5 inch loaf pan, or line with parchment paper for easy removal.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 3/4 tablespoon of the ground cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg (if using).
3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a spoon or spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few small lumps are perfectly fine.
5. Gently fold in the diced apples until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. If making the crumble topping: In a small bowl, combine the 1/4 cup flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Add the cold butter pieces and use your fingertips or a fork to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until coarse crumbs form.
7. Pour the bread batter into the prepared loaf pan. If using the crumble topping, sprinkle it evenly over the top of the batter.
8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely tent it with foil.
9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before carefully removing it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious homemade cinnamon apple bread!
