Cinnamon Apple Quick Bread
Cinnamon Apple Quick Bread is one of our favorite fall breads. I like to serve this bread for breakfast, dessert, and especially for tea time. We love nibbling on this bread along with one our October Tea runners Tea. This month, I received four Tea Runners teas, as always. The flavors were Blood Orange Roobios, Pumpkin Spice Oolong, Fruit Aroma Black, and Salty Caramel Pumpkin Black. So far, we’ve only tried the Blood Orange Roobios, and we love it! It tastes delicious and I love that it’s caffeine free. Today, while I sipped my tea, I mixed up this bread. It only took me a few minutes to stir up the bread, and the whole house smelled amazing while it baked. To receive $7 off a Tea Runners subscription, use the code: SPOOKYDEAL.

The Equipment I Used
- A Loaf Pan- I used a 9×5 ceramic loaf pan to bake my bread.
- Parchment Paper- Use this to line your pan. That way the bread doesn’t stick to the pan.
- An Electric Mixer- You can just use a whisk and a spoon to mix this up, but I used my mixer.
- A Food Scale- For perfect results, please weigh your flour and sugar.
The Ingredients Needed for Cinnamon Apple Quick Bread
- Eggs- Use one large egg, at room temperature.
- Vanilla- I used pure vanilla extract.
- Butter- Use unsalted butter, and make sure it’s all melted.
- Sugar- For best results, weigh your sugar.
- Flour- Weigh this as well.
- Buttermilk- Use whole milk buttermilk.
- Pecans- These add great crunch to the bread.
- Cinnamon- Use ground cinnamon.
How I Made my Cinnamon Apple Quick Bread
- First, I let the egg and buttermilk sit out to come to room temperature.
- Then, I mixed the Cinnamon Apple Swirl ingredients together. Be sure to dice up the apple nice and small.
- Next, I made the bread batter. It’s important not to overmix the batter, or the bread will be tough.
- Finally, I baked the bread. It’s important to insert a toothpick in the middle of the bread to check if it’s done. The toothpick will be dry when the cake is done.

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9×5 loaf pan with parchment paper overhanging the sides.

- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, vanilla, butter, and sugar. Add the buttermilk and dry ingredients, alternating them. Stir until everything is just combined.
- Pour half of the batter into the pan. Top with half of the Cinnamon Apple Swirl mixture. Add the rest of the batter, and smooth it over the swirl mixture. Then, add the rest of the Cinnamon Apple Swirl mixture. Then, use a knife to make a swirl going through the loaf.
- Bake on the middle oven rack for 50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan on a rack for ten minutes, and then lift it out of the pan to let it cool completely on the rack.
