Time 1h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Unsalted butter, for greasing the pan
2 cups/255 grams all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of ground cloves
1/2 cup/120 milliliters vegetable oil
1/2 cup/120 milliliters unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar
1/2 cup/110 grams packed dark brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 large Granny Smith apple, unpeeled and shredded (about 1 cup)
1 cup/240 milliliters apple cider
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup/60 grams confectioners' sugar
Pinch of kosher salt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour an 8 1/2-inch-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and cloves. In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, applesauce, sugars, eggs and apple.
  • Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Transfer to the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes.
  • Transfer to a rack to cool slightly, then remove the cake from the pan and let it cool completely.
  • When the cake has cooled, prepare the glaze: Bring the apple cider to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Continue to cook the cider until it has reduced to 1/3 cup, about 10 minutes. Add the butter, confectioners' sugar and salt. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and continue to cook the mixture, whisking often, until it has become syrupy and thickened slightly, about 4 minutes. Set aside to cool until it thickens slightly.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the cake, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples such as Granny Smith, Braeburn, or Honeycrisp. These apples hold their shape well during baking and provide a nice balance of sweetness and acidity.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense loaf. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Don't overbake the loaf: Overbaking can dry out the loaf. Check the loaf for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the loaf is done.
  • Let the loaf cool completely before slicing: Slicing the loaf while it's still warm can cause it to crumble. Let the loaf cool completely before slicing and serving.

Conclusion:

This quick cinnamon apple loaf is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With its moist, tender crumb and sweet, cinnamony apples, this loaf is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
