Apple Bread Recipe
Description
Apple Bread combines peeled diced apple tossed with lemon juice, agave syrup, and cinnamon with a batter made by mixing whole wheat flour, baking soda, nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, and salt. The wet ingredients include egg whites, vegetable oil, sugar, applesauce, and vanilla extract beaten until thick, then blended with dry ingredients without overmixing. Chopped walnuts are folded in last.
The batter is poured into a greased loaf pan and baked at 350°F until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. After baking, the bread cools to room temperature to firm up for easier slicing. The result is a soft yet structured quick bread with pronounced apple and warm spice notes balanced by nutty walnut pieces.
This bread suits breakfast or a snack and pairs well with butter or cream cheese. The moist texture from applesauce and fresh apple pieces provides natural sweetness and moisture without butter. It stores well when wrapped in foil or plastic for several days.
