How to Make Apple Nut Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup vegetable oil, ½ cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold in 2 cups peeled and chopped apples, 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, and ½ cup shredded coconut.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  7. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  8. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top of the batter.
  9. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. 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.
