A delightful and easy-to-make loaf combining the flavors of cinnamon, apples, and raisins, perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even baking from the start.
Peel and chop the apples into small pieces, then place them in a microwave-safe bowl.
Chopping the apples into uniform pieces helps them cook evenly.
Add the water to the apples and microwave on high for 1 to 1.5 minutes until slightly softened.
Microwaving the apples enhances their natural sweetness.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon.
Sifting the dry ingredients together ensures a smooth batter.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla extract, and applesauce.
Whisking the wet ingredients thoroughly ensures even mixing with the dry ingredients.
Combine the wet and dry ingredients, then fold in the softened apples and raisins.
Folding gently prevents overmixing, which can make the loaf dense.
Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and smooth the top.
Greasing the pan ensures the loaf releases easily after baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Check the loaf at the 1-hour mark to avoid overbaking.
Let the loaf cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on a wire rack prevents the bottom from becoming soggy.
Slice and serve your delicious Cinnamon Apple Raisin Loaf. Enjoy!
Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of honey for extra indulgence.
