Apple Raisin Bread
Apple Raisin Bread is a family favorite during the Fall baking season. It's full of fresh, juicy apples and sweet, chewy raisins. This loaf turns out perfectly spiced and delicious, making it a great breakfast or dessert bread.
Equipment
- 1 9x5 inch loaf pan 9x5 inches
Ingredients
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup apple cider
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- ½ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon extract
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 cups grated or finely chopped apples, peeled
- 2 cups all-purpose flour, or bread flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon allspice
- 1 cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease with butter and lightly flour the 9x5-inch loaf pan.
- Combine the milk, apple cider, melted butter, honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon extract, eggs and grated apples. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and salt. Add to the bowl of wet ingredients and stir to combine. Fold in raisins.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the top of the loaf is golden brown.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Storing: Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer keeping, store in the fridge for about 7 days and warm up in the microwave or toaster before enjoying. Apple raisin bread can also be frozen for up to 6 months.
Chef's Tip: Use a food processor to chop the apples into very small pieces that resemble grated apples. Using grated apples will keep your bread from falling apart, and will be better if you have picky eaters who might not like the texture of bigger diced apples.
