    It's technically November, which means I don't have to start posting Christmas things until December 1st... right?! I am squeezing in this last-minute autumn recipe just because it's SO good and you all need to know about it. I hadn't posted an apple recipe yet this season, and I also have been neglecting my breads category... so, 2 birds 1 stone. This Apple Cinnamon Loaf Cake combines all of your favorite cozy flavors in one easy peasy quick-bread! And it has fruit, which means it's healthy. Obviously.

    The last time I posted something including apples was over the summer, when I shared this amaaaazing Italian apple cake. While we do love it, that seems like more of a summer-spring dessert, no? This apple cinnamon loaf cake is like the fall version of the same sort of thing. ALSO, I'm sorry, I hate the word moist and I'm sure you do too, but this bread is exactly that! I can't find a better word to describe it. It's like a soft, delicious pillow of all the best things about autumn. While this version is with apples, you might have noticed I kind of have a love affair with pears too, so that would be a delicious variation!

    I have a confession to make. I am really, thoroughly upset that a bunch of bloggers have been sharing Christmas stuff since like... November 1st! While YES, I am well aware that I did that too, that was for a specific project and not an all-around blog theme thing. SIGH. Let me have my cinnamon, pumpkin, apple, sweet potato nonsense for a little longer before you bombard me with your peppermint. Also because I don't even like peppermint. Ahem. BUT I digress! This apple cinnamon loaf cake is basically like fall in a pan! Make it! I know you'll become as obsessed as I have!

    Serves: two 9x5 loaves
    Ingredients
    • *for the apples*
    • 2 apples, peeled and diced {about 3 cups}
    • ⅓ cup sugar
    • 1-2 tablespoon water
    • *for the cake batter*
    • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
    • 2½ teaspoon baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1¾ cup packed light brown sugar
    • 3 eggs
    • ½ cup whole milk
    • *NOTE: you can just use all-purpose flour instead of doing half white/half wheat. Use the same amount!*
    • *for the glaze*
    • ½ cup powdered sugar
    • 1-2 tablespoon apple juice
    Instructions
    1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
    2. Butter and flour your loaf pans, making sure to tap out excess flour.
    3. In a medium nonstick pot over medium-high heat, combine the apples, sugar, and water.
    4. Cook, covered and stirring occasionally, until apples soften, about 15 minutes. When cooked, set aside so they can cool off.
    5. In a medium bowl, sift together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together butter and brown sugar until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
    6. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until one is completely incorporated before adding the next.
    7. Add in the flour in 3 additions, alternating with the milk, and ending with the dry ingredients.
    8. Stir in the caramelizes apples.
    9. Divide batter evenly between the two prepared pans, and bake until deep golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. If top starts getting too brown but the inside isn’t done yet, cover with aluminum foil.
    10. Let cool in the pan before transferring to a plate.
    11. When ready to serve, mix together the powdered sugar and apple juice for the glaze, and drizzle on top.
