Apple and cinnamon loaf ingredients
- 1½ cups self raising flour
- ¾ cup caster sugar
- 125g butter – softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 large apple
- ½ tsp cinnamon
Method
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (fan-forced) and line the base and sides of a large loaf tin with baking paper.
- Place the self raising flour, caster sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, eggs and milk in the bowl of an electric mixer and beat until just combined.
- While the cake mixture is beating, peel an apple (you can use any variety) and roughly chop it into pieces no bigger than 1cm. Place the apple pieces into a small bowl and add the cinnamon before gently stirring to combine.
- Pour the cake mixture into your prepared cake tin and sprinkle the cinnamon coated apple pieces over the top.
- Bake for 50 – 55 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer. Carefully remove your loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the loaf tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- This recipe can be frozen for up to 2 months. Why not make a double batch and have one on hand for the school lunchbox or a ready-to-go afternoon tea?
