Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 2 large Eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Apples (peeled and grated)
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and 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 soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In another large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and applesauce until well combined.

Step 4

Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the wet mixture and whisk until smooth.

Step 5

Fold in the grated apples using a spatula, ensuring they’re evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently to combine. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

Step 7

If using nuts, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans at this stage.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly using your spatula.

Step 9

Bake the apple bread in the preheated oven for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

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 and serving.
