All-purpose flour gives the bread structure. Granulated sugar adds sweetness. Baking powder and baking soda help the bread rise. Ground cinnamon gives that warm, cozy flavor. Salt balances the sweetness. Eggs provide moisture and richness, while vegetable oil ensures a tender crumb. - 1 cup plain yogurt - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 2 cups apples, peeled and diced Plain yogurt keeps the bread moist and adds a hint of tang. Vanilla extract enhances the flavor profile. Diced apples bring sweetness and texture. I recommend using tart apples for a nice contrast in flavor. - ½ cup rolled oats - ½ cup brown sugar - ¼ cup all-purpose flour - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon - ¼ cup cold butter, cubed The crumble topping adds a crunchy layer to the bread. Rolled oats give it a hearty feel. Brown sugar provides deep sweetness. All-purpose flour helps bind the topping. Ground cinnamon makes it fragrant, while cold butter creates that crumbly texture we love. 1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper. 2. In a large bowl, mix together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon of salt. 3. In another bowl, whisk 2 large eggs. Add ½ cup of vegetable oil, 1 cup of plain yogurt, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until smooth. 1. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix! 2. Fold in 2 cups of peeled and diced apples until they are evenly mixed into the batter. 1. In a small bowl, combine ½ cup of rolled oats, ½ cup of brown sugar, ¼ cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and ¼ cup of cubed cold butter. 2. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Once you have prepared everything, pour the batter into the loaf pan. Sprinkle the crumble topping on top and get ready to bake! To get the best apple cinnamon quick bread, avoid overmixing the batter. Mix just until the dry and wet ingredients combine. This helps keep the bread light and fluffy. When choosing apples, go for tart varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. They add the perfect sweet-tart flavor and hold their shape well when baked. You can boost the flavor by adding spices like nutmeg or cloves. These spices complement the cinnamon and add warmth. If you have dietary needs, consider using unsweetened applesauce instead of oil. You can also swap yogurt for a dairy-free option like almond yogurt, making it suitable for various diets. Presentation is key! Slice the bread and serve it warm. A light dusting of powdered sugar makes it look special. Drizzling honey or maple syrup adds a sweet touch. Pair it with fresh apple slices or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. Enjoy this treat with a warm cup of tea or coffee for a cozy experience. {{image_2}} You can switch up the apples for other fruits. Pears work great in this bread. They add a soft texture and a sweet flavor. Try using seasonal fruits like peaches or berries, too. You can also mix fruits for fun new tastes. Adding nuts brings a nice crunch. Walnuts or pecans add a rich flavor. Chop them up and fold them into the batter. Just keep an eye on the total fruit amount. Too much moisture can make the bread dense. Want to kick up the flavor? Try adding caramel or nutmeg. A little caramel sauce swirled in can make it sweet and rich. Nutmeg pairs well with cinnamon and gives depth. You can also experiment with yogurt flavors. Using vanilla, coconut, or even peach yogurt changes the taste. Each choice adds a unique twist. Don't be afraid to get creative! If you need a gluten-free option, swap all-purpose flour for almond or coconut flour. These flours change the bread's texture and flavor. Almond flour gives a nutty taste, while coconut flour adds sweetness. You may need to adjust the liquid in the recipe. Start with less yogurt and add more as needed. It helps keep the bread moist and fluffy. Always check the texture while mixing to get it right. You can store your apple cinnamon quick bread at room temperature or in the fridge. If you plan to eat it in a few days, keep it on the counter. Just wrap it in plastic wrap or foil. This keeps it fresh and moist. If you want to store it longer, put it in the fridge. The cool air helps it last up to a week. Freezing is a great way to keep your bread for later. To freeze, let the bread cool completely. Then, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, followed by aluminum foil. This double wrapping prevents freezer burn. You can freeze it for up to three months. When you're ready to eat it, take it out and let it thaw in the fridge overnight. For a warm slice, reheat it in the oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes. When stored properly, your apple cinnamon quick bread can last about 5 days at room temperature or up to a week in the fridge. If you freeze it, aim to eat it within 3 months for the best flavor. Watch for signs of spoilage, like mold or an off smell. If you notice these, it’s best to toss the bread to stay safe. How to know when the bread is fully baked? You can check if the bread is done by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the bread is ready. If it has batter on it, bake for a few more minutes and check again. This method is quick and easy. Can I use whole wheat flour instead? Yes, you can use whole wheat flour. It will change the texture and flavor a bit. The bread may be denser, but it will still taste great. Just remember to adjust the liquid if needed, as whole wheat flour absorbs more moisture. What can I substitute for yogurt? If you don’t have yogurt, you can use sour cream or buttermilk. Both will add moisture and a nice tang. You can also use applesauce for a lighter option. Just keep the same amount as the yogurt in your recipe. How do I keep the crumble from sinking? To keep the crumble on top, sprinkle it evenly over the batter before baking. Make sure the batter is thick enough to hold it up. You can also chill the crumble for a bit before using it. This helps it stay on top during baking. Can I serve this bread with a dessert topping? Yes! This bread pairs well with whipped cream or ice cream. You can also add a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce for a sweet touch. Fresh fruit or berries on the side will make it even better. What beverages pair well with apple cinnamon bread? Apple cinnamon bread goes well with hot tea or coffee. You can also serve it with apple cider for a cozy touch.
