Ingredients

  • 1 cup apple butter
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup peeled and finely diced apple

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the apple butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  5. Fold in the diced apple, making sure it is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
  8. Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
  9. Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
