Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups white granulated sugar
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • ⅔ cup vegetable oil

Add-ins

  • 1 cup apples, diced and peeled
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Topping

  • ⅔ cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pans: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease your loaf pans thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set this mixture aside.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a stand mixer fitted with a beater or a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, milk, and vegetable oil together until just combined, ensuring the mixture is smooth but not overmixed.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just moist. Then gently fold in the diced peeled apples and ground cinnamon, being careful not to overmix to keep the bread tender.
  5. Fill Loaf Pans: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pans, filling each approximately two-thirds full to allow room for the bread to rise during baking.
  6. Add Topping: In a small bowl or measuring cup, stir together the sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping. Spoon this mixture over each loaf, then gently swirl it into the batter with a knife for a marbled cinnamon sugar effect.
  7. Bake: Bake the loaves for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Baking times may vary, so use the toothpick test to confirm doneness.
  8. Cool: Once baked, remove the loaf pans from the oven and place them on a cooling rack. Let the bread cool slightly before removing from pans and slicing.

Notes

  • Do not overfill loaf pans; filling to two-thirds full allows for proper rising without overflow.
  • Use the toothpick test to check for doneness as ovens and pans vary; the bread is ready when the toothpick comes out clean.
  • This bread is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans with the apples.
