Ingredients

  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ cups flour, all purpose or gluten free 1 to 1 flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups finely chopped peeled apples

Instructions 

  • First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8 inch by 4 inch bread pan with parchment paper.
  • Add brown sugar and cinnamon to a small bowl. Mix together and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add melted butter, eggs and sugar. Stir to combine.
  • Then, add in flour, baking soda, baking powder, and vanilla extract. Stir to combine.
  • Fold in the finely chopped apples. Batter will be very thick.
  • Transfer half of the bread batter to the lined pan.
  • Sprinkle half of the brown sugar cinnamon mixture on top.
  • Then, repeat these layers.
  • Bake for 36 to 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out with only moist crumbs.
  • Lastly, remove from oven. Allow bread to completely cool before slicing into.

Notes

  • Both regular all purpose flour and gluten free 1 to 1 flour can be used.  For these photos, I used King Arthur Flour gluten free 1 to 1 flour.
  • Finely chop the apples.  Do not use large chunks of apples.
  • I recommend using honey crisp apples.  For a more tart flavor, Granny Smith are great.
  • The batter will be very thick.
  • Do not over bake bread.  Bread is done when toothpick inserted comes out with only moist crumbs.
  • This bread is very gooey and moist.  Allow it to fully cool before slicing into.  Otherwise, it will be crumbly.
  • Store covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
