Make the bread and bake
- Preheat the oven to 320°F (160°C). Mist a 2lb (900g) loaf pan with cake release and line with baking paper, letting the edges of the paper overhang the edges of the pan for easy lifting once the bread is baked.

- You can bake this pumpkin and apple bread in your air fryer if you like! Preheat the air fryer to 320°F (160°C) and bake for an hour or until the tester comes out clean.
- You can make this recipe your own by folding chopped nuts, chocolate chips, dried fruit and so on to the batter before baking.
