3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sourdough starter (active and bubbly) Ensure the starter is active before use.
1 cup warm water Use lukewarm water, not hot.
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 large apple (peeled, cored, and diced) Any type of apple can be used.
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Extra flour for dusting For kneading the dough.

In a large bowl, combine the sourdough starter, warm water, and sugar. Mix well.
Gradually add the flour and salt, stirring until a shaggy dough forms.
Gently fold in the diced apple and cinnamon, ensuring even distribution.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 4-6 hours or until doubled in size.
Once risen, gently punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf.
Place the shaped loaf on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let it rise again for 30-45 minutes.

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Make a few shallow cuts on the top of the loaf for decoration, then bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack.
