Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cups Light brown sugar, packed
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cups Vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups Apples (peeled, cored, and diced)
• 0.75 cups Granola (plus extra for topping)
• 2 tablespoons Milk (optional, if batter is too thick)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, applesauce, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the diced apples and granola with a spatula. If the batter feels too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk to loosen it slightly.

Step 6

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan and spread it into an even layer. Sprinkle extra granola on top for added crunch.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve it as is, or spread with a bit of butter or cream cheese for a delicious treat!
