Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 1 cup diced apples
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced apples and chopped walnuts. Toss them together to ensure the walnuts are evenly distributed among the apples.
- In another bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. This will help to aerate the flour and ensure even distribution of the leavening agents and spices.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Fold in the apple and walnut mixture into the batter until they are evenly incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula to ensure an even surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice and serve the Apple Walnut Fritter Bread warm or at room temperature. Enjoy it plain or with a spread of butter or cream cheese for added richness.
Tips
- Choose the Right Apples: For the best flavor and texture, opt for a mix of sweet and tart apples, such as Granny Smith and Honeycrisp. This combination will add depth to your bread.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to a dense loaf, so be gentle!
- Experiment with Spices: Feel free to add a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of allspice for an extra layer of flavor that complements the cinnamon beautifully.
- Check for Doneness: Since oven temperatures can vary, start checking your bread a few minutes before the suggested baking time. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool Completely: Allow the bread to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. This helps maintain its structure and prevents it from becoming gummy.
- Storage Tips: Keep any leftovers wrapped in plastic wrap or stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or freeze slices for later enjoyment!
