Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan, or line with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
Step 4: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Overmixing can lead to a tough apple bread recipe.
Step 5: Fold in the diced apples until evenly distributed throughout the batter. This is where the magic of our apple bread recipe truly comes alive!
Step 6: Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly. You can sprinkle a little extra cinnamon sugar on top if desired for a lovely crust.
Step 7: Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer or toothpick inserted into the center of the apple bread recipe comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, you can tent it loosely with aluminum foil.
Step 8: Remove the apple bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Slicing too early might cause it to fall apart slightly.
Step 9: Once cooled, slice and serve this delightful apple bread recipe. Store any leftovers at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days, or refrigerate for longer.
