- Add the self raising flour and sugar to your mixture and stir.
- Cut up your dried fruit (if using prunes and apricots) and dust with some of the self raising flour. Add the fruit to your mixture and stir.

Tips:
- Prep Apples Correctly: To ensure a moist and flavorful loaf, choose crisp and firm apples. Peel and core them before cutting into small, uniform pieces. This will help the apples distribute evenly throughout the batter.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the final product. Opt for ripe bananas, real vanilla extract, and pure maple syrup for optimal taste and texture.
- Don't Overmix: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense loaf. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined, taking care not to overdevelop the gluten in the flour.
- Accurate Measurements: For precise results, use a kitchen scale to measure ingredients. This ensures the correct proportions and prevents imbalances in the recipe.
- Proper Baking Techniques: Preheat the oven and baking pan before adding the batter. Bake the loaf for the specified time, and use a toothpick or skewer to check for doneness. Insert it into the center of the loaf; if it comes out clean, the loaf is ready.
Conclusion:
The Apple Bran Loaf is a versatile and delicious breakfast treat that offers a delightful balance of flavors and textures. With its moist interior, crispy crust, and sweet-tart apple filling, this loaf is a perfect addition to any morning routine. Whether you enjoy it plain, toasted, or with your favorite toppings, this recipe is sure to become a staple in your kitchen.
