We bring you here our apple bread our grandma’s recipe. A few weeks ago we republished here our banana bread recipe, a recipe that has a long story behind it. A recipe that originally came from our grandma.

Now, the original recipe was actually made with apple. So in reality the original banana bread recipe our grandma made was an apple bread really. Our mom then started to make the same recipe using bananas. And in time, my sister and I have been making changes to that recipe.

So, when we republished it here and published it on Instagram for the first time, we talked about where the recipe comes from and about the fact that it was originally made using apples. And ever since, a lot of you have been asking for the original apple bread recipe, our grandma’s recipe. So here you have it. The apple bread, the very same way our grandma used to make it.

There is something really special when it comes to passing down recipes. Things like these are what make you remember people and small moments that truly are what make life charming and worth living.

Everytime we make this apple bread or our banana bread, we remember our grandma, and start talking about her quirks, how she used to do all her make up with just one lipstick, and how she would always make these apple and banana breads using her bare hands, no whisk nor rubber spatula.

Our mom keeps doing the same. She uses her bare hands to beat it all. And now, whenever I’m making this recipe, and want to feel closer to them I do the same. Even if it is better or easier to use a whisk or some other utensil.

If you like this recipe, you have to go check out our banana bread recipe. The way our mom does it. It has become one of your all time favorites. No wonder why. It is a recipe we grew up with and one of those recipes we love the most.

Method

 

1. Preheat the oven to 356º F (180° C). Grease with a little butter a deep rectangular baking pan of about 9.5 inches x 4.5 inches (25 cm x 12 cm) or line it with parchment paper. Separately, in a medium bowl, sift the flour with the baking soda and salt. Mix with a spoon and set aside.
2. In a large bowl add the two types of sugar with the eggs and the oil. Beat with a hand whisk for 1 minute until the mixture is light and fluffy.
3. Add in the flour mixture and beat for a few seconds just until fully incorporated. Finally, add the diced apple and mix until completely integrated.
4. Carefully pour the mixture into the pan and bake at 356º F (180° C) for about 1 hour until golden brown and when a wooden toothpick comes out clean when inserted.
5. Take the bread out of the once it is ready and let it sit for 20 minutes still inside the pan. Then turn it out it and place it on a wire rack to completely cool down. Ready!
