Cinnamon Apple Delight Bread (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 260 grams all-purpose flour
02 - 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
03 - 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
04 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
05 - 0.25 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

06 - 115 grams unsalted butter, softened
07 - 200 grams granulated sugar
08 - 2 large eggs
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
10 - 240 milliliters buttermilk

→ Fruits & Additions

11 - 2 cups peeled, cored, and diced apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
12 - 65 grams chopped walnuts (optional)

→ Topping

13 - 110 grams brown sugar, packed
14 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 175°C. Lightly grease a 23x13 cm loaf pan and set aside.
02 - Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl until fully incorporated.
03 - Beat softened butter and granulated sugar in a separate bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3–5 minutes.
04 - Incorporate eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract until blended.
05 - Alternately add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the creamed mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined—avoid overmixing.
06 - Gently fold diced apples and walnuts (if using) into the batter until evenly distributed.
07 - Mix brown sugar and the additional teaspoon of cinnamon in a small bowl to create the topping.
08 - Pour half the batter into prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle half the cinnamon-sugar topping evenly over batter. Add remaining batter, then top with the rest of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
09 - Bake for 60–70 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center emerges clean.
10 - Allow to cool in pan for 10–15 minutes. Transfer bread to a wire rack and let cool completely before slicing.

# Notes:

01 - For extra flavor, use a combination of sweet and tart apple varieties.
