Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups peeled and diced apples
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
- Cinnamon Swirl: 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9×5 inch loaf pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In a separate bowl, combine oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Beat until well blended.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Fold in the diced apples and walnuts (if using).
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon for the swirl.
- Pour half of the batter into one of the prepared loaf pans. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture. Repeat with the second loaf pan.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a moister bread, add 1/2 cup of applesauce to the batter.
- Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature.
- You can substitute other nuts for walnuts, such as pecans or almonds.
