Servings: 1 8 inch loaf pan
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup cooking oil
- 2 large eggs, room temp, lightly beaten
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups chopped apples (peeling is optional)
- ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Cinnamon Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 4 teaspoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Line a loaf pan with wax paper so that the paper hangs over the edges of the pan. This paper will help you lift the loaf cleanly out of the pan after baking.
- In a large bowl, whisk together oil, eggs and vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and ground cinnamon.
- Using an electric mixer, add the flour mixture (dry ingredients) a little at a time to the wet ingredients until the dry ingredients are just incorporated into the mixture.
- Fold in the apples and the walnuts. The batter will be very thick, NOT thin like cake batter.
- Spoon the batter into the lined loaf pan. Bake in preheated oven for 50 minutes to an hour.
- Remove bread from oven. Use wax paper to lift loaf from pan and place on cooling rack to cool. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing paper from the sides and bottom. If making glaze, proceed to step 8. If not, let cool completely before slicing.
- While bread is cooling, whisk together the glaze ingredients. When bread is completely cool, drizzle glaze over top of bread, sprinkle with extra walnuts (if desired), slice and serve.
