Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 0.5 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.5 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.5 cup neutral oil
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
  • 2 cups fresh apples, coarsely grated

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Use the coarse side of your grater to shred the 2 cups of fresh apples. Keep the juices that accumulate on the board.
  3. Mix the Dry. In a medium bowl, whisk together the 2 cups flour, sugars, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tbsp cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  4. Combine the Wet. In a separate large bowl, beat the 2 large eggs with the 0.5 cup neutral oil, 0.25 cup Greek yogurt, and 1 tsp vanilla until the mixture looks smooth and pale yellow.
  5. The Great Merge. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Stop as soon as the last streak of flour disappears.
  6. Fold the Fruit. Add the 2 cups grated apples and all their juice into the batter.
  7. Transfer. Pour the thick batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  8. The Long Bake. Bake for 55 minutes. Check the center with a toothpick until it comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
  9. The Cooling Test. Let the bread sit in the pan for 10 minutes. This allows the structure to set so it doesn't shatter when sliced.
  10. Final Rest. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
