apple walnut bread

This simple and not-too-sweet loaf is studded with apple and crunchy walnuts. It stays super moist thanks to a good amount of yoghurt in the batter. The loaf can be toasted on the second or third day or sliced and frozen for lunchbox treats.

Apple Walnut Bread

butter (melted, or 1/2 cup neutral-tasting oil)

eggs (at room temperature)

Greek yoghurt (unsweetened)

brown sugar (firmly packed)

all-purpose flour (plain flour)

tsp baking soda (bicarbonate soda)

cinnamon

ginger

apples (large Pink Ladies

walnuts (or pecans)

Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C, combi steam setting. If your oven has variable humidity, use 30% here (if not, don’t worry! Just set to combi steam at the correct temperature and the oven will work out the humidity for you). Grease and line a 9x5 inch (23x13cm) loaf pan with parchment paper and set aside.

Whisk the melted butter with the eggs and yoghurt.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, baking soda, cinnamon and ginger. Pour in the wet mixture and stir until it’s almost (but not quite!) combined. Stop when there are a few streaks of flour and a few lumps left.

Add the diced apple and nuts and fold through. Make sure the mixture is fully combined with no streaks of flour, but don&#39;t overmix it.

Pour into the lined pan, smooth the top and bake until the loaf is deep golden brown and tests clean with a skewer, about 45 minutes.

Leave to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before turning out onto a rack to cool completely.
