Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins

  • 2 medium apples, peeled and diced
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until evenly combined.
  2. Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully blended.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined to avoid overmixing, which can make the bread dense.
  4. Fold in Apples and Nuts: Gently fold in the diced apples and chopped walnuts if using, ensuring even distribution without breaking up the fruit.
  5. Prepare the Slow Cooker: Line the slow cooker with parchment paper and lightly grease it to prevent sticking. Pour the batter into the slow cooker and smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Cook the Bread: Cover and cook on the LOW setting for 2 to 3 hours. Test doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center—if it comes out clean, the bread is done.
  7. Cool and Serve: Carefully lift the bread out using the parchment paper. Let it cool for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing to allow it to set.

Notes

  • Use apples like Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Granny Smith as they hold their shape well during cooking.
  • Line the slow cooker with parchment paper or a liner to make removing the bread easier.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to keep the bread soft and tender.
  • Check for doneness after 2 hours since slow cookers can vary in heat.
  • For extra sweetness, drizzle a simple glaze made of powdered sugar mixed with a little milk over cooled slices.
  • Substitute vegetable oil for butter if needed, and add ¼ cup brown sugar for a sweeter version.
  • Omit walnuts or replace with raisins for a nut-free variation.
  • Add ½ teaspoon ground ginger for extra spice and warmth.
  • Dice apples and store in lemon juice overnight to prevent browning when prepping ahead.
