Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees (fan-forced) and line the base and sides of a large loaf tin with baking paper.

Step 2

Peel the apple and roughly chop it into pieces no bigger than 1cm. Place the apple pieces into a small bowl and add the cinnamon before gently stirring to combine. Set aside until needed.

Step 3

Place the self raising flour, caster sugar, butter, vanilla extract, eggs and milk into your Thermomix bowl and mix for 15 seconds, speed 5.

Step 4

Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix for a further 10 seconds, speed 4 or until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Pour the mixture into your prepared loaf tin and sprinkle the apple pieces over the top.

Step 6

Place the Apple Loaf into your oven and bake for 50 - 55 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer. Carefully remove your Apple and Cinnamon Loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the loaf tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
