Gingerbread Apple Loaf

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Gingerbread Apple Loaf.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 325°F (165°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, take a moment to grease a large loaf pan or two smaller ones with a generous pat of butter—this will help your delicious creation slide right out later.

3. Step 3

   In a saucepan set over low heat, combine golden syrup, water, butter, and brown sugar.

4. Step 4

   Stir gently as the butter and sugar melt together, creating a sweet, inviting aroma.

5. Step 5

   Once everything is well blended, remove the pan from the heat and give it a good mix to ensure all the ingredients are harmoniously combined.

6. Step 6

   Now, grab your peeled apples and grate them directly into the mixture—this adds a lovely texture and flavor to your batter.

7. Step 7

   Next, sift in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground ginger, and ground allspice.

8. Step 8

   Gently fold these dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as we want to keep that lovely, tender crumb.

9. Step 9

   Once your batter is ready, pour it into the prepared loaf pan(s), spreading it evenly.

10. Step 10

    Now it’s time to bake! Place your pan in the preheated oven and let it work its magic for about 35 minutes.

11. Step 11

    You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, signaling that your delightful loaf is ready to be enjoyed.
