Ingredients for Apple Walnut Bread

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups peeled and chopped apples
  • All Purpose Flour
  • Whole Wheat Flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Walnuts

How to Make Apple Walnut Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in 2 cups peeled and chopped apples and 1 cup chopped walnuts.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
  7. 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.
  8. 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!
