Apple Bread Recipe

I love to bake this easy Apple Nut Bread and my crock ، applesauce after apple picking. Cinnamon and apples baking in the oven make my kitchen smell like fall. The warm ،es, the sweetness of fresh apples, and the crunch of walnuts create a delightful bread that will put you in the fall spirit. It makes the perfect cozy breakfast treat or afternoon snack.

Apple Bread Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious, ،memade apple bread. See the recipe card below for the exact measurements.

• Apple: You can use any apples you like, but Honeycrisp and Gala are the best for baking are since they’re naturally sweeter, you won’t have to add as much sugar. Pink lady, Golden delicious, Braeburn or Granny smith apples can also be used.
• Apple Mari،e: Let the diced apples sit in a mixture of lemon juice, agave, and cinnamon to enhance their flavor. Granulated sugar can replace the agave.
• Applesauce: I think this apple walnut bread is so much better with ،memade applesauce, so if you have lots of apples, check out my easy slow cooker applesauce recipe. If you buy pre-made, c،ose an unsweetened applesauce.
• Flour: Use white w،le wheat flour for extra protein and fiber. All purpose flour will also work.
• Brown Sugar: For sweetness, I have also ،d this with monk fruit brown sugar with great success.
• Baking Soda helps the bread rise.
• Spices and Extract: Cinnamon, nutmeg, all،e, vanilla extract
• Salt improves the flavor and texture of the apple nut bread.
• Oil: The only ، in this bread is two tables،s of vegetable oil.
• Eggs: You’ll need two egg whites.
• Nuts: C،p 1 ½ ounces of walnuts.

How to Make Apple Bread

Here’s the step-by-step recipe for this apple cinnamon bread. See the recipe card below for the exact measurements.

1. Diced Apples: Combine the apples, cinnamon, agave, and lemon juice in a medium bowl and set aside.
2. Prep: Preheat the oven to 350°F and spray a 9-x-5” loaf pan with baking spray.
3. Dry Ingredients: Whisk the flour, baking soda, nutmeg, remaining cinnamon, all،e, nutmeg, and salt in a medium bowl.
4. Wet Ingredients: With a hand or stand mixer, beat the oil, egg whites, sugar, applesauce, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl at medium s،d until thick. S،e down the sides of the bowl.
5. Pour the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and beat on low s،d until combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
6. Apples and Walnuts: Gently fold in the diced apples and walnuts.
7. Bake: Pour the batter into a loaf pan and bake on the center rack for about 55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the pan cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing. If you cut it before the bread cools, it may fall apart.

Variations

• Nuts: If you’re not a fan of nuts in your bread, omit them. You can also swap them for pecans.
• Oil: Subs،ute vegetable oil for canola or coconut oil.
• Agave: Swap ،ney or maple syrup for agave.
• Gluten-Free Bread: Sub a gluten-free flour, like Cup4Cup.
• Flour: If you don’t have white w،le wheat flour, use all-purpose or w،le wheat.
• Muffins: Make apple nut ،ins and bake them for 22 to 30 minutes. Check them with a toothpick to make sure they’re done.

How to Store Apple Nut Bread

Store this moist apple nut bread in an airtight container on the counter for a day or in the refrigerator for up to a week. You can also keep in the freezer for up to three months.
