Apple Cinnamon Bread Recipe

I love all kinds of apples, but Josh only likes Granny Smith. I try to encourage him to eat an apple a day, but sometimes he forgets and eats donuts instead:) I always try to keep Granny Smith apples on hand, just in case he gets an apple craving. The donuts have been winning lately, so I decided to make a loaf of apple cinnamon bread with our abundance of apples.

Apple Cinnamon Quick Bread Recipe

I love using Granny Smith apples for baking because they are tart and crisp. I chopped up two apples and folded them into the cinnamon spiced bread batter. I topped the bread with a cinnamon sugar crust and let our new oven do the rest of the work. Our house quickly filled with a heavenly cinnamon aroma, it didn’t take Josh long to wander into the kitchen to see what was baking. He wanted to eat his apples now:)

This quick bread is the perfect treat to make during the fall months when apples are at their peak. Each slice of bread is filled with chunks of fresh apples. Enjoy a slice for breakfast or as a snack. And you might want to consider doubling the recipe because our one loaf didn’t last long:)

    this was very moist and most everyone loved it however in my opinion it has way to much sugar in it. i am wondering if i could just cut the sugar in half but leave everything else the same . i also usd egg beaters instead of reg eggs to cut down fat and cholesterol. i used olives oil also

    I have been making this bread for years and it’s always delicious!!  My kids love it, it’s a hit at any gathering, and recently I have been sending it to school for a Kindergarten class snack!  So So Good!!!

    My son and I made this bread together last night and it tasted amazing! We did a couple substitutions for our own personal preferences and it came out tasting so yummy. We only had gala apples on hand, so we used those; coconut oil for the canola oil, decreased the sugar by a quarter cup and used a homemade gluten free flour blend instead of the AP flour. Such a great recipe that I will now back for my son’s teachers this fall. Thank you!!

    Well, I decided to place it in a small square pan. I decreased the
    sugar to 3/4 cup. It is absolutely
    delicious and came out as a afternoon treat cake.
