Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

1 cup Milk
1/4 cup Oil (any neutral oil, or substitute butter)
2 Tbsp Honey (or maple syrup)

Dry Ingredients

3 cups White Flour (Bread Flour or All Purpose Flour)
1 1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Cinnamon
2 tsp SAF Instant Yeast (or 2 1/2 tsp bread machine yeast)

Add-ins

1 1/2 cups Apple (1/4 inch dice, peeled and cored, about 2 medium apples)

Instructions

Add Ingredients: Add all the ingredients into your bread machine in the order listed. Begin with the wet ingredients (milk, oil, honey), followed by the dry ingredients piled on top forming a dry ‘island’ over the wet. Do not add the diced apples at this stage.
Select Setting: Turn on the bread machine and select the “basic white” bread cycle, which typically includes mixing, rising, and baking phases.
Monitor Dough: Watch the dough during the initial mixing to ensure it forms a smooth, elastic ball. If the dough appears too dry or crumbly, add a tablespoon or two of extra liquid to achieve proper consistency.
Add Apples: When your bread machine signals the mix-in timer, add the diced apple pieces so they are evenly incorporated into the dough without being crushed.
Complete Bake: Allow the bread machine to complete the entire cycle, including rising and baking, without interruption.
Cool Bread: Once the baking is finished, carefully remove the loaf from the bread pan and place it on a cooling rack. Let it cool completely to set the texture and make slicing easier.
Serve and Enjoy: Slice the bread and enjoy it fresh as a sweet and comforting snack, breakfast toast, or alongside your favorite spread.

Notes

You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a different sweetness profile.
If you don’t have instant yeast, use bread machine yeast or active dry yeast but adjust rising times accordingly.
Make sure to peel and core the apples for best texture and flavor integration.
To enhance the apple flavor, sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on top before baking if your bread machine allows opening the lid during the bake.
This recipe works best in a 2-pound loaf bread machine.
