A delightful twist on the classic pumpkin bread, incorporating warm spices and fresh apple chunks for a moist and flavorful treat.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two loaf pans by greasing and lightly flouring them.
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the batter inside for even baking.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, and salt.
Sifting the dry ingredients can help achieve a smoother batter.
In another bowl, combine the brown sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, apple juice, and vegetable oil. Mix until smooth.
Ensure the wet ingredients are at room temperature for better mixing.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the loaf tender.
Fold in the chopped apple pieces gently.
Coat the apple pieces in a bit of flour before folding them in to prevent sinking.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
Tap the pans gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 65-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Check the loaves at the 60-minute mark to avoid overbaking.
Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Run a knife around the edges of the pans to help release the loaves easily.
Slice and serve the loaf as a delightful snack or breakfast treat.
Pair with a warm beverage for a cozy experience.
