For a delicious and simple sweet treat, you can’t go past this Apple and Cinnamon Loaf recipe.
This recipe combines two of my favourite flavours into one easy recipe, and I promise you are going to love it! This simple loaf takes no time at all to put together and is perfect for afternoon tea, easy dessert or as special treat in the kids lunch boxes.
It’s a pretty fool proof recipe, which makes it great to bake with the kids. You can use any variety of apples when making this loaf (it’s a great way to use up the kids half eaten apples!) and you can add an extra apple to your mixture if you wish.
Tips for Making this Apple and Cinnamon Loaf:
- You can use any type of apple for this recipe.
- If the apple you are using are small, you can use two.
- Please note it may take longer for your mixture to combine if your butter is not at room temperature.
- This loaf is freezer friendly for up to two months.

Easy and delicious, thank you! I wasn’t sure if the cake would be “apple-y” enough with the apple only on the top but I should have trusted you, it was perfect!

What is faster sugar?
Lauren Matheson
Hi Nancy, Caster Sugar is a fine white sugar. You could get away with using plain white sugar if that’s all you have.
