Ingredients you’ll need

Here’s a list of ingredients you’ll need to make this bread. You can find my recipe card at the bottom of this post for the complete list with their amounts.

• Plain/all-purpose flour
• Baking powder
• Salt
• Ground cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg
• Large eggs
• Light brown sugar
• Greek-style yogurt
• Vegetable oil
• Vanilla extract
• Apples: You’ll need 3 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped into small chunks

How to make Apple Cinnamon Bread

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and spices. Set aside.

In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until thick and lighter in colour.

Add the yogurt, oil, and vanilla, and whisk until combined.

Add the dry ingredients in thirds and fold in until just combined – do not overmix. Fold in the apple chunks.

Pour the batter into a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan lined with parchment paper, and spread out evenly.

Bake for about 60 – 65 minutes, or until a toothpick or cake tester inserted into the centre comes out clean.

Allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

The printable recipe card with the FULL list of ingredients and instructions can be found at the bottom of this post.

NOTE: For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements.

Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough, and I cannot guarantee the best results if you use them.

Tips & tricks for this recipe

Here are a few tips and tricks for making this quick bread.

• Apples. Use your favourite! I love using Braeburn for my bread and muffin recipes. You can also leave them un-peeled if desired.
• The vegetable oil and Greek-style yogurt adds an incredible amount of moisture. If desired, you can replace the yogurt will buttermilk, sour cream, or just plain yogurt (full fat and 0% fat both work well).
• Why not throw in a handful of chopped nuts? For added crunch!

This Apple Cinnamon Bread is:

• super quick and easy to throw together
• deliciously moist and bursting with flavour
• loaded with juicy apple chunks
