How to Make Apple Cinnamon Walnut Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch bread pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened unsalted butter and 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups (300g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup (240ml) unsweetened applesauce, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and 1 cup (100g) chopped walnuts.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared bread pan.
  8. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
