How to Make Homemade Apple Bread

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

2. Mix dry ingredients – In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, baking powder, and nutmeg.

3. Mix wet ingredients – In another bowl, combine the egg, sugar, grated apple, and oil.

4. Combine – Gently stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients until just combined (do not overmix).

5. Bake – Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

6. Cool – Let bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. For best flavor, wrap in plastic wrap and let sit overnight before slicing.
