Apple Cinnamon Bread

Recipe View Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour an 8x4-inch loaf pan to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)

Recipe View In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. This incorporates air and creates a tender crumb. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. (2 minutes)

Recipe View In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and cloves. This ensures even distribution of the leavening and spices. (3 minutes)

Recipe View Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tough bread. (5 minutes)

Recipe View Gently fold in the diced apples until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. (3 minutes)

Recipe View Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. (2 minutes)

Recipe View Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (60 minutes)

Recipe View Let the bread cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents the bread from sticking and allows it to cool evenly. (15 minutes)
