Apple Bread Recipe

I love baking this simple apple nut bread and crockpot apple sauce after apple picking. Baking cinnamon and apples in the oven fills my kitchen with the smell of fall. The warm spices, sweetness of fresh apples, and crunch of walnuts create a delicious fall-inspired bread. It’s the perfect cozy breakfast or afternoon snack. One of my favorite ways to bake with apples is in these Whole Grain Apple Nut Muffins, Apple Cobbler, and Cinnamon Apple Crisp.

Apple Bread Ingredients

Here are the ingredients you need to make delicious homemade apple bread: Please refer to the recipe card below for exact ingredient measurements.

• apologize: You can use any apple you like, but Honeycrisp and Gala are best for baking because they are naturally sweeter and don't require as much sugar. You can also use Pink Lady, Golden Delicious, Braeburn, or Granny Smith apples.
• Apple Marinade: The taste is enhanced when the chopped apples are soaked in a mixture of lemon juice, agave, and cinnamon. Granulated sugar can be used instead of agave.
• applesauce: I think this apple walnut bread would be even better with homemade applesauce, so if you have a lot of apples on hand, check out my easy slow cooker applesauce recipe. If you buy it pre-made, choose unsweetened applesauce.
• flour: For more protein and fiber, use white whole wheat flour. All-purpose flour also works.
• Brown sugar: I experimented with using monk fruit brown sugar for sweetness and it was very good.
• Baking soda It helps the bread rise.
• Spices and Extracts: Cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, vanilla extract
• salt Enhances the flavor and texture of apple nut bread.
• oil: The only fat in this bread is two tablespoons of vegetable oil.
• egg: You will need 2 egg whites.
• nuts: Chop 1 ½ ounces walnuts.
