Ingredients
  

Apples

  • 1.5 cups peeled and chopped apples ½ inch chunks; about 2 medium apples
  • ⅓ cup packed light or dark brown sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Batter

  • 1.75 cups all-purpose flour spooned & leveled
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • ⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup whole milk at room temperature

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Adjust the oven rack to the lower third position and preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Spray a loaf pan with nonstick spray.
  • Stir the apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon together. Set aside.
  • Whisk the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside. Beat the butter and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs and then beat until combined. Mix in applesauce and vanilla extract. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet and slowly add the milk, mixing just until combined.
  • Pour about ½ of the batter into the prepared pan. Spoon the apple mixture on top and then pour the remaining batter over it. Swirl with a knife.
  • Bake for 60-75 minutes, checking for doneness at 60 minutes with a toothpick. Allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  • Once cooled, cut into slices and serve. Store at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for a week.

Notes

Freeze baked & cooled loaf for up to 3 months. If desired, bring to room temperature before serving.
