Ingredients

Scale

2 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup neutral oil (vegetable or canola)
1/4 cup milk
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup diced apple

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard loaf pan.
In a large bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until pale and slightly thickened.
Whisk in oil and milk until smooth.
Add flour, baking powder, and cinnamon and stir gently until just combined.
Fold in diced apples evenly throughout the batter.
Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 45–50 minutes, until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then remove and cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Dice apples small for even baking and to prevent sinking.
Use firm apples like Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Granny Smith.
Do not overmix once flour is added to keep the loaf tender.
If the top browns too quickly, loosely tent with foil.
This loaf tastes even better the next day as flavors develop.
Freeze individual slices for quick breakfasts or snacks.
