Ingredients




3 Apples peeled and chopped
2 cups flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
Dash of Nutmeg and Ground Cloves (optional)
3/4 cup light olive oil
1/2 cup sour cream
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
6 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 350 Degrees F. 2 Apples: Peel them, halve them, quarter them then core them. 3 Then take each quarter and slice down the middle then cut across for chunks. 4 Add to a bowl and squeeze some lemon juice over them so they don't get brown. 5 Mix the wet ingredients in one bowl. 6 Then mix the dry ingredients in another bowl. 7 Drain the apples and pat them dry. 8 Then toss them in the dry ingredients and coat. This will ensure that the chunks don't fall to the bottom of the batter. 9 Mix wet ingredients into the dry until fully incorporated. 10 Add batter to a greased loaf pan. 11 In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon. 12 Sprinkle over the top of the cake batter. 13 Cook in the oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes.

About


This is NOT-apple crisp. It is the anti-apple crisp. I was going to make apple crisp then I decided NOT to make it.
I was walking through the Somerville Farmer's Market on Wednesday and saw some beautiful packaged loaves of Cinnamon-Apple Bread. Why didn't I buy one? Phsaw! That's boring. I like the challenge of making it myself.
I did some research and tried to find a good recipe for this bread but to no avail. So being my resourceful self, I took Emeril Lagasse's recipe for banana bread from the Food Network website and altered it to make Cinnamon-Apple Bread. The bread at the farmer's market had a beautiful cinnamon sugar toping so I made sure to add that as well. I'm impressed with the results.
