Apple Bread

This Apple Bread is a moist loaf featuring shredded green apples blended into a spiced batter with cinnamon and nutmeg. The mix of white and brown sugars balances sweetness, and melted butter and unsweetened applesauce give it a tender, cake-like crumb. Baking yields a golden crust with a soft interior packed with gentle apple flavor and warming spices.

Notes

  • Use fresh green apples like Granny Smith for tartness; Pink Lady, Gala, or Fuji are good alternatives.
  • Choose unsweetened applesauce to maintain a balanced sweetness and moist texture.
  • Melted butter provides smooth richness; substitute non-dairy fats if needed.
  • Combine light brown and white sugars for nuanced sweetness.
  • Store the baked bread in a sealed container at room temperature for 3-4 days.
  • For longer storage, freeze cooled bread wrapped in freezer-safe packaging for up to 3 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
