Learn how to make delicious Maple Cinnamon Apple Bread. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups diced apples (choose your favorite variety)
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the bread dense.
Fold in the diced apples and nuts (if using) gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown, and the kitchen should be filled with a delightful aroma.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
