2 1/2cupsFlourI use a combination of all-purpose and whole wheat flour
2cupsWhite sugar
1tablespoonPumpkin pie spice
1teaspoonBaking soda
1/2teaspoonSalt
2Eggslightly beaten
1cupCanned pumpkin puree
1/2cupVegetable oil
2cupsPeeled cored and chopped apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350℉. Lightly grease 2-9" bread pans and/or line with parchment paper.
In a large bowl mix flour, sugar, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt, and set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix together pumpkin, eggs, and oil. Add the pumpkin mixture to the flour mixture and stir just until moistened.
Gently fold in chopped apples
Pour evenly into two 9" bread pans.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes to an hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Notes
I almost always recommend granny smith apples for baking, because I love the tart flavor and they are crisp so they hold up really well and don’t get super mushy. Other good options would be honeycrisp, galas or other crisp, tart apple varieties. An apple with a more mealy texture, like Red Delicious, would just melt and not hold up in this recipe.
