Read on for this easy apple bread recipe!
What Apples to Use for Apple Bread
If you’re wondering what type of apple to use for this bread – pretty much any type will work! It’s good to pick one that won’t get mushy when cooked. The best are Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala. Avoid Macintosh apples, which are notoriously mushy.
Apple Bread with Applesauce & Apples
It’s easy to make a healthier version of this apple bread with applesauce! If you want to make apple bread with applesauce, I’ve included the recipe substitution in the recipe box below. All you have to do is swap all or some of the oil with equal amounts of applesauce. You can do 1/3 cup of each or 2/3 cup applesauce and completely omit the oil and use 2/3 cup applesauce instead. My favorite is using 1/3 cup oil and 1/3 cup applesauce.
How to Make Apple Bread from Scratch
It doesn’t get easier than this! This recipe for apple bread from scratch only uses one bowl. Just add the dry ingredients, then the wet ingredients, fold in the apples and it’s ready to bake!
How Long Will Apple Bread Last?
This apple bread will last up to four days at room temperature in a sealed airtight container. Apple bread does not need to be refrigerated, but if you want it to last longer, you can store it in the fridge. You can also freeze it for up to two months.
Making Apple Bread without a Bread Pan
If you don’t have a bread pan, this bread can also be baked in a 9″x9″ baking dish. Reduce baking time to 35 minutes.

Freda Gaw says
Looks delicious. Since “loaf” pans come in a variety of sizes, I would find it helpful to know the size of the pan.
Kelly Egan says
Duly noted. I updated the recipe!
Freda Gaw says
Thanks, appreciate the quick response. I know loaf pan is typically
9 x 5, but somehow the photo just didn’t appear to be that size.
Kelly Egan says
No prob! Thanks for the suggestion!
Domenico Monteleone says
I would care to know more about bread starters POOLISH and BIGGA starters and Sourdough starter as well but for the two POOLISH and BiGGA STARTERS I care to know more about would you please help me out with these two please
Di says
Can I use frozen apples..if so ,how should I go about it…thank you for your recipes..
May says
I am putting this delicious sounding apple bread on my menu for this week. I will post a feed back so others may enjoy.
Upon reading the instructions I came across a type-o, not implying anything negative but if you are interested, where it says “Cook @ 350F until a toothpick inserted in the middle of “load” comes out clean, should be “loaf”
The D & F are located next to each other on keyboard so type-o erra. No biggie for me just passing along to help out.
Now it is time for me to go put together this recipe and enjoy! I look forward to being a regular on you web sight.
Thank You, Miss May
Kelly Egan says
May – Thanks for catching my typo. I updated the recipe! Let me know how it turns out!
Kelly Egan says
Hey Debbie – You add the apples after your stir in the wet ingredients! Hope your apple bread was lovely!
Reina says
I made this today and it was INCREDIBLE. Thank you!
L N says
I second that! I’m planning to make another loaf for my grandkids this weekend.
Kathy says
Looks yummy but the quantity of oil is really large for a 9 by 5 quick bread. Is there something it adds to the texture?
Kelly Egan says
Hi Kathy – This is the amount of oil that I preferred but I am sure you can experiment according to your preference! Good luck!
Arleen says
What about 1/3 cup oil and 1/3 cup applesauce?
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
I haven’t tried but the recipe is very forgiving so it’s certainly worth a shot! If you do make it, please let me know and I’ll add it to the original recipe!
Arleen says
I finally had time to make a loaf using 1/3 canola oil &1/3 apple sauce. It tasted great! I also diced the apples. The apples melted in your mouth. I know it’s good when my husband likes it! I plan on making it again soon for the church choir I sing in. Very good recipe.
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
Amazing! Thank you so much for the update! I’ll have to try your version next time.
Janet Hardenburgh says
Can you use applesauce instead of fresh apples? And if so how many cups of applesauce?
Laura Strnad says
I think you could use bananas and applesauce in it to give it moisture too.
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
That’s a great idea, thanks Laura!
Linda says
The flavour and overall texture of this loaf was great, however, I found the edges to be dry. I baked for 60 minutes in a metal loaf pan. Will reduce the time next time I try it.
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
Hi Linda – Thank you for that feedback. I’m really glad you enjoyed the loaf!
Vickie says
Which type of apple do you usually use?
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
Hi Vickie – Pretty much any type will work but you could try Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Fuji or Gala specifically.
Kimbra says
Just made it this morning. Very good. I made the recipe as written. Only baked for 55 min. and did cover with foil the last 20 min. But every oven is different, so I always expect to make adjustments like this when baking a new recipe.
Thanks
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
I’m glad you had a good result! This is one of my favorite recipes!
Elaine says
I just made this about an hour ago, but I used an 8 X 8 inch square pan instead to bake the recipe. I used Honeycrisp apples and also used the substitutions of 1/3 cup of canola oil and 1/3 cup unsweetened apple sauce and baked it for about 35 minutes. I usually adjust the times for baking and start at less time than stated in the recipe. You can always bake it a little longer if needed. Will taste it as soon as it cools down a little. Easy to make.
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
Love these suggestions! I might have to try your version next time!
Khia Pire says
Hi, i am wanting to make a big batch for about 20 loaves. What is the best way to make more than just enough for 1 loaf?
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
Hi Khia – I usually have the most luck scaling recipes by using weights instead of measurements like cups. This is usually how restaurants make large quantities too. I’m sorry that I don’t have weights for this recipe and don’t have time to remake it right now to help you, but I would recommend making a batch and figuring out the weights of the ingredients and then you can easily multiply by 20. I hope that helps!
I also would like to make a large batch for a coffee shop please let me know how your results worked for your 20 loaves Gina Kendrick says
I also would like to make a large batch for a coffee shop please let me know how your results worked for your 20 loaves. I will need 10 loaves
Shirley says
Batter seems oily. Too much oil. Very tasty but the bread breaks apart. Isn’t my favorite.
Trev Vennard says
Made this early this morning and it’s all gone! Been told to make another two this afternoon! ? it’s gorgeous
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
Awesome! Glad it was a hit! Send one my way too please? 🙂
Maryann Cole says
This was an easy fabulous recipe, Will add to favorites, thanks for sharing!
Sydney says
This came out great – however, I added chocolate chips to give it a little something extra!
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
Hi Sydney – I love that idea! Thanks for sharing!
Gina Kendrick says
Toasted pecans are going in my recipe and I’ll be topping it off with crumb topping and caramel drizzle
Gordon McGinnis says
Recently used this recipe to rave reviews! Due to popular demand from friends and relatives am back today to make some more of this wonderful apple bread.
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
Hooray! Glad to hear it!
Ange says
It was amazing but it is to me tastes better when I first purée the apples.
Kat says
Thanks for sharing this great recipe! I’ve gotten so many compliments.Like other commentators here, I get better results when I run the apples through a blender – consistency and texture is better overall. I also put a little less sugar and a little more vanilla, but that’s just my preference.
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
I’m glad you liked it! I’m going to have to try making a batch with your suggestions! 🙂
RDG says
Has anyone thought about processing the apple in a VitaMix, complete with skin and core? I may try it tomorrow.
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
Interesting idea! Let me know if you try it!
Dauphne says
I am making this right now. While making the mix looked really think. Is it supposed to be thick? I used gluten free flour. Could this be the reason? I hope it turned out well. Its in the oven now.
Dawn says
Love this recipe! Can this bread be frozen after being baked?
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
I haven’t tried! Let me know how it turns out if you do.
Patricia Rumph says
I grated the apples and it came out moist sweet and delicious. Made this bread 4 times since the beginning of October. Yum
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
That’s amazing! So glad to hear it!
Danielle S says
Such a great recipe. My kids made this for their teachers, I made it for coworkers and we even brought it to Thanksgiving. We have made the regular loaf and 8 small loafs. This is now a family favorite. So much flavor and so moist.
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
Hi Danielle – Thank you so much for this amazing review! I’m glad it was a part of your holiday celebration.
Jeanmarie Bishop says
I’m making this today as a trial run before making a batch on Saturday to serve on Sunday morning after church. I like the idea of using applesauce for a boost of apple flavor and cutting the oil. I’ll try it with butter on the side (of course) and see how it goes. I’m so grateful for this recipe! Thank you. 🙂
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
Awesome! I know everyone will love it! I’m so glad readers have left these suggestions (like applesauce) for other people to try. Happy holidays!
Jeanmarie Bishop says
Well – it’s in the oven. I chose unsalted butter, white whole wheat flour, light brown sugar and a hefty glug of maple syrup in which I tossed the apples before adding them to the dough. I also put some chopped walnuts in the topping along with more sugar and cinnamon. So we’ll see how it goes. It sure smells heavenly in here – with Christmas music playing, it’s about as cozy as a house has a right to be. <3
Jeanmarie Bishop says
Perfection! Better than I imagined it could be. I have to eat an anti-inflammatory diet, thus all the substitutions. WHAT A PERFECT ADDITION TO MY HOLIDAY TABLE!
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing I am so happy to be a small part of your holidays!!!
Jeanmarie Bishop says
I’m making it again today!
Katie says
Do you keep it on the counter or in the fridge when storing? I wasn’t sure with such a moist bread if it would mold quickly.
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
Room temp is fine for a few days!!!
Jackie says
Just baked that wonderful bread. Did do some adjustments. Used the applesauce oil for a bit more flavor. Also used half white sugar and half brown, also added walnuts and since the batter was a touch stiff added 1/4 cup buttermilk. The topping I used brown sugar in lieu of white. Thanks for the recipe. Am taking it for our sweet tray Christmas Day.
Jackie says
The apple bread was the sweet tray hit of the family Christmas party.Thank you for putting such a good thing online. I’m 79 and feel your never to old to ddtop learning and young people have a great deal to contrihute. Sooo, Happy New Year everyone!!!
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
Hi Jackie – Your comment made me SO happy! I’m so glad you enjoyed it and your guests did too!
COLLEEN BURRIS says
I just made 6 small loaves … I added another apple ( like a lot of fruits in my bread ) so it was about 3-1/2 cups. I got 3 small loaves per recipe above with added apples.
This is a really easy recipe and VERY tasty. The first 3 loaves, I did not add the sugar/cinnamon topping and it was PERFECT & crispy. I did find, however, that it tasted a little oily. Have you adjusted the oil – maybe by a couple tbsp?
Thanks for sharing … I’m going to check out some of your other recipes.
Happy New Year 2019!!!!
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
Hi Colleen – Thanks for the feedback. I think I will try to remake it using your suggestion of less oil and see if this would make the recipe even better!
dora says
One word DELICIOUS! I am making again on Sunday! So simple yet so tasty. Family said it was the BOMB! Lol
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
Wahoo! So glad to hear it. Send a loaf my way? 🙂
Carole Phillips says
I was wondering if you could use a can of apple pie filling with this? I don’t get to the store often, so fresh apples are not always available.
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
I’m not sure sorry!
Carole Phillips says
I will try it and let you know.
Kathleen Kelleher says
I made a loaf today following your recipe. It came out very crumbled & almost falling apart. Not sure why… Any thoughts
Nayarith Smith says
I was curious about what the consistency of the mixture should be before putting it into the loaf pan and folding it in with the eggs.
nina says
kelly our family received a fruit basket so what a tasty way to use the apples.we made it according to your recipe and it came out great.thanks for simple directions too!
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
Hooray! I’m so glad you loved it!
Laura Kiruna says
This tastes great. I was out of nutmeg so substituted a few shakes of ginger and cloves, and also substituted apple sauce for half the oil. Delicious! Thanks for sharing.
Dinh G. says
Just made this apple bread and it’s a winner!
I made it with a little less sugar and a bit more apple, which was grated. It turned out perfect. It’s moist and the cinnamon sugar top just was a lovely bonus.
We will be making this again! Thanks for sharing the recipe. ?
Cindy says
Just made this using crabapples (unpeeled) and extra sugar (because crabapples are so sour). It tastes amazing! Tart and sweet and super moist. Even my picky kid loves it.
I grated half the apples, diced the rest and let them macerate with about 1/3 cup sugar first. Then made the bread as the recipe directs. Added about an extra tablespoon of sugar to the topping as well.
Wish I could post a picture. There are little pink bits throughout because the crabapples weren’t peeled and it’s so pretty!
JNBarros says
Any advice for how long to bake if I wanted to make mini loaves?
Lisa says
I bake my banana bread in 5 mini loaf pans and they bake for about an hour. (Disposable foil pans) The recipe states 1 /12 hrs for 1 loaf.
Kelly says
So I had to try this based on all the positive reviews. And like many, I did make a few modifications, so thank you for the base recipe! I will say it is DELICIOUS! Like a few others, I grated the apples on a box grater, large holes, skins included. (used galas). Used 1/2 white whole wheat flour, 1/2 pastry flour, reduced sugar (and used brown sugar) to 1/2 C. Used 1/3 melted butter, 1/3 oil for the fat, 1.5 tsp vanilla. Does that make it a different recipe? I don’t know, but I do know it is SUPER yummy. Next time, though, 3 apples grated. And I will definitely make it again! Thank you for a great recipe to use when I have too many apples!
Kelly says
P.S. I only had to bake for 50 minutes, but I also used a dark pan….
Niki says
Personally, I really appreciate reading reviews that share whatever modifications they made/experimented with! I guess when cooking/baking you tend to lean one way or another.
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
What a bummer! Sorry it wasn’t to your taste.
Pat says
can it be froze??
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
I would think you could but I haven’t tried. It doesn’t last long enough in our house! 🙂
Brooke Z says
Just made this! It is wonderful! I did also shred the apples, which I think helped. Thanks so much for sharing!
Trinity says
Yes Kelly you pretty much made a totally different recipe! Next time try commenting on the original…your thoughts and opinions are of utmost importance.
Lily says
I think 2/3 c oil is too much. It’s baking now and oil is collecting on top. We’ll see how it goes when it’s ready. Thank you anyway for this recipe.
Lily says
I guess oil – which seemed too much- is just right to make it moist. Didn’t take too long to cook as I used 2 small pans since I didn’t have any available big bread pan. I expect to make it again. Thank you.
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
Hmm, doesn’t seem like it turned out for you like it does for me. I haven’t used that pan so I can’t speak to that, but I definitely haven’t had any issues with it burning, being too dense, falling apart or being oily.
Jeannie says
Great recipe. I added walnuts, a cinnamon sugar swirl, and extra apples. I baked it in a glass dish and it was done in fifty minutes. It was delicious.
Shawnee says
I followed this recipe exactly and it came out so bland. There was no flavor at all. I never give poor reviews…I’m sorry. If you have any suggestions or insight, please let me know.
Melissa Koldenhoven says
Not sure about how many stars as this is still baking. I live in Utah and almost 6000 feet elevation. I followed the recipe almost exact except more vanilla and more apples. I also used coconut sugar instead.
Hopi g this turns out because it smells so good
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
I hope you loved it! Let me know how the coconut sugar was!
Melissa Koldenhoven says
The bread turned out so good! Less than 24 hours and it’s half gone. My husband came home from work and enjoyed a few thick slices with butter on them.
The coconut sugar was a win for sure.
I switched to coconut sugar about a year ago on most of my recipes. It adds a beautiful chewiness to baked goods and is lower on the glycemic index.
Thanks for the wonderful recipe. I will be making this for Thanksgiving week ❤️
Tarre B Smith says
Coconut sugar? Thank you for the tip; I will research.
Tarre B Smith says
Thank you for this recipe! I read all of the reviews and knowing my personal tastes, made a couple of adjustments to the spices: I tripled the cinnamon, doubled the nutmeg, and added a touch of cloves and allspice. It was still mildly flavored, I will probably add a bit more of the spice next time. I like the crunchy, cinnamon toast like topping. Twenty minutes later I still have that cinnamon on my tongue from the topping.
The cake consistency is wonderful. Moist, light, delicious. I took it out when I had moist crumbs on my toothpick, not dry, since it will cook more as it cools and exactly the length of time she stated in the recipe. I did not scrimp on the oil as some reviewers did. I did not have oil floating on top as one reviewer stated. Next time I will dice my apples a lot smaller and add walnuts (personal taste). My apples were cut to the size in the photo; I think about half that size will be better, maybe 1/4″ pieces. I enjoyed tasting the apple separately from the bread/cake so I don’t think grating would be good. This makes a wonderful breakfast bread … I liked it warmed and lightly toasted under the broiler better than cold. Really good with a hot drink to enhance the flavors.
Oh, I’m at 5400 feet above sea level, so I added a tablespoon each of flour and water for each loaf. Very, very good. Thank you again. I will make this next time I have old apples. I can hardly wait to try your cranberry bread 🙂
Tarre B Smith says
Oh, I doubled the vanilla too! I’m just a flavor girl, I guess. I really think if I had not increased the seasonings I would not have been as happy but everyone please be assured that the basic recipe will give you a delicious, moist bread. You can add to it to make it your own, but don’t take anything away. She has it perfect.
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
Hi Tarre – Thank you for your kind words about the recipe and all of the suggestions you made. I’m so glad you found a version of the bread that is perfect for you!
Melissa Koldenhoven says
I’ve made this recipe 3 times now ?
It’s our favorite fall quick bread. Thank you for this yummy recipe
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
I’m glad you love it! Happy holidays Melissa!
Adrienne Peterson says
Delicious!! I did exchange the oil with applesauce because the girls I work with are watching what they eat. Other than that I followed the recipe. Everyone loved it!!! Thank you
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
Hooray! I’m glad you loved it!
Mike says
Now I’ve made it two more times. 🙂
Forgot to star it the last time, 5 stars it is!
Paula Rafal says
What kind of apples do you recommend?
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
From the text:
If you’re wondering what type of apple to use for this bread – pretty much any type will work! It’s good to pick one that won’t get mushy when cooked (macintosh are notoriously mushy). You could try Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Fuji or Gala.
Lin says
Wonderful recipe for Quick Apple Bread! Our two apple trees had a bumper crop of apples and before the rest of what we picked goes soft, I scrambled to find some recipes to use them up.
This is a keeper and absolutely delicious!
On the second loaf, I did add a few craisins, dried cranberries, which was also very good.
Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe.
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
I’m so glad you loved it as much as we do! I love your additions as well.
L says
I followed some of the suggestions – used half white sugar, and half light brown sugar. Doubled the cinnamon and vanilla. I used three medium apples, grated with skins on. Did not put topping on. I also whisked the eggs, oil and vanilla instead of stirring until combines just because I didn’t read the directions thoroughly at that point. Cooked two loaves in oven on different racks for 55 min. Cooled for 10.
It turned out really well. Top was crunchy, insides were cooked through and soft with some crumble but in a perfect way. Determined to be a score by all parties eating it. Thank you for sharing the recipe and for allowing the comments. Next time I make it, I am using white whole wheat flour to see how that works.
Mike says
This recipe is outstanding, thank you!
Made it this weekend with no changes and it was a hit.
I’d like to try and make it into a layer cake as well..
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
Amazing! I’m so glad to hear that.
Mike says
And now I’ve made it two more times! Forgot to rate it the first time. 🙂
Thanks again.
Linda says
Best easy delicious recipe for Apple bread came out perfect.
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
Hooray! Glad you loved it.
Julie Joseph says
I topped the loaf with half a cup of diced apples and crushed cashews along with the cinnamon sugar. Had to give it an extra 5 minutes in the oven but it turned out great. Will make it again.
Brian Goosen says
Oops, I just realized this recipe calls for baking SODA, not baking POWDER.
Guess I’m making apple flatbread!
Dana says
Hi Kelly
Would like to try this recipe as muffins. Anything I should do differently? Bake time less?
Rewari says
This was a VERY tasty apple bread and I will be definitely making it again.
Melissa Louckes says
Well, we just wasted 7 smaller apples (3 3/4 cups), 4 eggs plus everything else! I followed the recipe and have successfully baked MANY breads in my lifetime. I thought the amount of oil seemed excessive but trusted your recipe. Baked it until the sides and top were browned and the toothpick came out clean, cooled it according to directions…. and it’s MUSHY and uncooked except around the edges. The EDGES tasted fantastic or it would have been one star. We even tried putting it BACK in the pan and BACK in the oven. Didn’t help. Maybe should have been 2/3 cup oil as others have said? Typo??
Melissa Louckes says
I can’t figure out how to change or delete my review. Something very strange happened. I took a pic of the recipe to bring my tablet (not laptop) into the kitchen, along with the instructions. The photos is for a DOUBLE recipe — exactly doubled — but the instructions are for a SINGLE recipe. So I should have poured what I made into TWO pans BUT my photos didn’t say that. Now, back on my laptop, the recipe is shows 2/3 cup oil, 2 eggs, etc. WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!?

Melissa Louckes says
Okay, figured it out. Before I took the pic an ad popped up, covering the 1x, 2x, 3x part at the corner of the recipe. I was trying to delete the ad and it made the recipe switch to DOUBLE (2x) just as I took the picture. So the stupid ad cost us almost all of our eggs and apples during a pandemic. And I get to dump it all out.
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
I’m so sorry you had this technical issue with the recipe. I’m going to forward this to the developer of the plugin I use as well as my ad service to make sure they are aware something like this can happen! I’m happy to send you a grocery gift card to cover the costs if you email me at kelly[at] asideofsweet.com.
Lea says
Om My Gosh. This is the best apple/cinnamon bread ever! I’m usually a bit shy in trying a new recipe but this turned out PERFECTLY. The apples came from our apple tree in Windermere, BC. I baked it for 55 minutes, cooled it in the pan on a rack and then turned it out. I greased and floured my pan and had no sticking. I was a little worried the apples might stick. It’s absolutely scrumptious! Thanks so much for sharing!! p.s My husband peeled the apples! (:
Lea says
I forgot to rate this recipe! I would give it 10 stars if I could. FYI …. Windermere B.C. is in Canada! (:
Kelly Egan - A Side of Sweet says
Your feedback make me so happy! Thank you Lea!
Marilyn says
Delicious! But came out pretty flat. My baking soda and flour are both new. I doubled the vanilla and cinnamon and added shredded coconut.
Not sure why mine was so flat, hence the 4 stars instead of 5. Easy to make for sure. Never worked with such a thick sludgy batter before. Next time will do 1-1/2 x the recipe for more height.
Will definitely make again. Thank you.
Christine says
It’s delicious. Have made this 3 times in one week due to family requests. I doubled the apples and used store bought cinnamon sugar for top.
Thank you!
Lydia says
I really wanted to love this recipe as it is so easy to make. And I do a lot of baking so I made sure to double check the ingredients in case I read something wrong when I made it this first time. But I did exactly what the recipe says. And it is way too oily tasting, it overcomes the rest of the bread and that’s all I can taste besides the actual apples. It did not rise at all and I know with this type of bread they don’t usually rise like a cake would. But it was just very disappointing and I have to tell you that I don’t ever write that many bad reviews of things that I have baked from recipes online. So it it hurt my own feelings that I had to say something bad about it. And I am not going to tweak the recipe and try it again because I’m not certain if it just needed baking powder in addition to the baking soda, or it needed more flour, or it needed some other kind of liquid like maybe buttermilk and then reduce the oil. That’s a lot of work to tweak something that I really wasn’t that happy with. So I’m just going to move on and keep looking for other recipes. A note, I made your cranberry orange bread and I loved it. That is a good recipe.
Katy says
This was super easy and delicious. I whipped it together when I woke up early while the baby and husband were sleeping. It’s nice and moist. I actually was able to use an 8×8 pan and bake for somewhere between 42 and 45 minutes. It came out crispy on the outside, steaming deliciousness on the inside. Thanks so much!

For health and due to high costs, I’ve been avoiding using eggs where possible, so thought this recipe would be a good test to substitute 2 T. milled flaxseed with 6 T. water. It turned out to be a mild but tasty apple bread with a moist consistency, not a firm slice but that’s probably on me as I didn’t wait for it to completely cool–it smelled so yummy, I couldn’t resist eating a piece as soon as possible! Not sure if it will get mushy after it sits, but it likely won’t be around long enough to find out! Thanks for a great recipe to use up some of my abundance of apples!
