How to Make Apple Walnut Bread
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup applesauce, 2 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in 2 cups peeled and chopped apples and 1 cup chopped walnuts.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
- Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
