    Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Bread - Andrea Meyers

    I haven't made a sweet bread in months, and this morning I just felt like enjoying some apple cinnamon bread for breakfast, and of course I knew that my boys would love the idea. We adore the apple cinnamon combination any time of year, and this oatmeal bread makes a nice breakfast and brunch item. You can make it the night before and slice it to enjoy with coffee and fruit in the morning. If you want to make it in the morning, start early because it takes about an hour to bake, although mixing takes only a few minutes. The aroma of the cinnamon is so nice and comforting, no matter what time of year it is.

    I like to make this bread with a mix of unbleached all-purpose and whole wheat flour and plenty of cinnamon and raisins, though I can also imagine currants or chopped prunes in the bread as well.

    Equipment

    • stand mixer with paddle attachment
    • medium mixing bowl
    • 9x5 loaf pan, lightly coated with cooking spray

    Ingredients

    • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
    • 1 cup granulated sugar
    • ¾ cup unsweetened applesauce
    • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
    • ⅓ cup quick oats (plus more for sprinkling on top)

    Preparation

    • Place the oven rack in the middle and preheat the oven to 350° F/175° C.
    • In bowl of the stand mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the applesauce, cinnamon, and quick oats. Mix in the eggs one at a time, beating well each time, then mix in the grated apple.
    • In the medium mixing bowl, whisk together the unbleached all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and baking soda. Take the mixing bowl off the stand and fold in the flour mixture just until the dry ingredients are incorporated.

      This looks delicious! I'm with you - apples, cinnamon, (all the fall-type recipes) are great all year round in my house, too!!

      I can't wait to try out this recipe, however I see one small error. You list apples as one of the ingredients, but you don't say at what point in the preparation steps the cut apples are added. Should we assume Step 5, along with the raisins?

      Thanks for catching that, Tricia! I add the apple chunks just after the eggs since they are a "wet" ingredient. I corrected the instructions. 🙂

      Dear Andrea,

      First off, let me say, I truly love this recipe! I found it a few years back and I've been baking it for my family every holiday season since. I was thinking of baking this weekend, but realized I'm limited with ingredients. So, can I use regular butter and use only all purpose flour instead? Unfortunately, as a college student it isn't so easy to buy extras anymore 🙁

      Sincerely,

      Tara

        Sure Tara, you can use regular salted butter and only all-purpose flour. The recipe will work fine. Glad you like it!
