How to Make Dense And Hearty Apple Pumpkin Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup pumpkin puree, 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs (or 1 for a denser loaf), ½ cup applesauce, and 2 tablespoons water. Beat until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Gently fold in 2 cups diced apples (adjust size to your preference).
  6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 50 minutes.
  8. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once cooled, slice and enjoy warm with a drizzle of honey or a dollop of fat-free cream cheese!
