Ingredients

1 c unbleached white flour
1 c fine white whole wheat flour such as prairie gold
1/2 c sugar (organic evaporated cane juice)
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1/2 c oat bran
1 c apples, chopped (granny smith or fuji are good)
1 c milk
2 Tbsp lemon juice (or apple cider vinegar)
1 large egg
1/4 c light oil (sunflower, safflower...)

Steps:

1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease a standard 9x5 loaf pan. Mix milk and lemon juice or vinegar togther and leave to coddle.
2. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a medium mixing bowl.
3. Peel, core, and chop the apples. Toss in with the flour mixture until well coated.
4. Whisk the egg with the coddled milk and the oil.
5. Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients. Gently stir and fold the ingredients until all the flour has been incorporated and a shaggy, wet batter is formed. Be careful not to over-mix.
6. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and pat it into the corners. Bake for 45-50 minutes. When finished, the loaf should be domed and golden, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 15 minutes before removing and slicing.
7. After they are completely cooled, wrap baked loaves tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature. (I just use the cheapest gallon size twist-tie type food storage bags.) Baked loaves can also be wrapped in plastic and aluminum foil and frozen for up to three months.
8. I've been thinking of making this with an additional 3 ounces of milk (so milk & vinegar total 1 1/2 cups) as it can get a bit dryish if not eaten within one day, which happens as several of us are obliged to be gluten or grain free, but haven't done so yet.

This bread is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not anything special either.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bread didn't turn out as moist as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This bread is a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I was worried that I wouldn't be able to enjoy this bread. But I was pleasantly surprised to find that it's completely nut-free.

This bread is a great make-ahead breakfast or snack. I like to make a batch on the weekend and then slice it up and freeze it. Then I can just grab a slice and heat it up in the microwave when I'm ready to eat.

I've made this bread with different types of apples, and it always turns out great. My favorite is to use Granny Smith apples, but Honeycrisp and Gala apples also work well.

This bread is a great way to use up leftover apples. I always have a few apples on hand, so this is a recipe I can make anytime.

I'm not a big fan of bran, but I really enjoyed this bread. The apples and cinnamon were so good that I didn't even notice the bran.

This is the best cinnamon apple bran quick bread recipe I've ever tried. It's so moist and flavorful, and the apples and cinnamon are the perfect combination.
