Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200°C/390°F (180°C for fan-forced ovens). Position the oven rack in the middle for even heat distribution.

Prepare a 21.5 x 11.5 x 7 cm (4.5 x 8.5 inch) loaf pan. Lightly spray with canola oil and line the base and long sides with a single piece of parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang to help lift the bread out later.

In a small bowl, mix the Demerara sugar and 1/4 tsp of cinnamon powder to create the topping. Set this aside.

In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, ginger powder, and allspice. Let the mixture sit while you prepare the batter; the sugar will draw out the juices from the apples, which adds moisture to the bread.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the yogurt, eggs, canola oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
