Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Oven and Pan
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with butter or cooking spray. You can also line it with parchment paper, leaving a little extra paper hanging over the sides for easy removal.
Step 2: Prepare the Apples
- Peel the apples, remove the cores, and cut them into small, even pieces. Smaller apple pieces distribute more evenly throughout the loaf and ensure that every slice has delicious bites of fruit.

- If desired, sprinkle the diced apples with a little cinnamon to enhance their flavor.
Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until smooth and slightly creamy.
- Add the vegetable or canola oil, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until everything is well combined.
- This mixture creates the moist and tender foundation of the breakfast loaf.
Step 4: Combine the Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
- Whisk the dry ingredients together to distribute the leavening agents and cinnamon evenly.
Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture.
- Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Avoid overmixing because too much mixing can make the finished bread dense or tough.
- A few small lumps in the batter are perfectly fine.
