Ingredients

  • 2 cups (240 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup finely diced apple
  • 1 cup milk*
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon divided

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9x5 inch loaf pan with cooking spray, or line it with parchment paper; set aside. Stir together flour, baking powder, salt and 1/2 cup sugar. Cut in butter until it forms to coarse crumbs. I grated my stick of butter using a cheese grater. Reserve 1/2 cup of this mixture for the topping; set aside.

  • Stir in apples and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon to the remaining mixture.

Notes

*Any type of milk will work. I use unsweetened vanilla cashew milk.
Storing leftovers: Wrap any leftover apple bread in plastic wrap and store on the counter for a day or two. Any longer than that and I would refrigerate it, wrapped tightly and placed in an airtight container.
Freezing: To freeze, let the bread cool completely. Slice the loaf and then wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap. Place the individually wrapped slices into a large freezer-safe ziplock bag, remove any air, and store in the freezer. Bread will keep well in the freezer for up to two months.
