Ingredients

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin spice *see post for suggestion
  • 1 teaspoon table salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup white sugar
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • 1 15oz can pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
  • ½ cup vegetable or canola oil
  • ¼ cup apple juice
  • ⅔ cup honeycrisp apples (about 1 apple), chopped small

Instructions

  • Adjust your oven rack to the lower ⅓rd of your oven. Preheat to 350°F degrees. Grease a 9x5 loaf pan well with extra oil. In one large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, and salt and mix till combined.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and add white and brown sugar, mixing till combined. In another separate bowl, combine the pumpkin puree with oil and apple juice till smooth. Fold in the egg/sugar mixture, then mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. There will be a few lumps, this is ok. Finally add in the apples, stirring till just combined.

  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake uncovered for 30 minutes on the lower rack. Add a tented tin foil cover, so it gives the bread enough room to rise more. Bake another 30-35 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean. Allow it to cool 10-15 minutes before removing from the baking pan. It should slide right out if oiled correctly, but running a knife along the sides to loosen it may help.

Notes

  • I love honeycrisp apples in this recipe. I used honeycrisp apple juice from North Coast and 1 apple, however, other types of apples/apple juice will work fine for this recipe. Something a little sweet is best. 
  • If following a migraine diet, check your pumpkin spice label for lemon. I used Simply Organics. 
  • This recipe freezes very well. I let thaw at room temperature or microwave for 10-15 seconds.
