This Incredible Apple Bread is just that….INCREDIBLE! Packed with shredded apple and a slight spice flavor throughout, you can enjoy this anytime of the day!
Typically, apple bread would be considered a Fall recipe, right?! Well, I love anything apple related, so I figured why not whip this up in February! And let me tell you, my family was definitely glad I did!
This bread is packed with flavor, but takes no time to prepare! I was able to get about 5 mini loaves out of the recipe, so we had plenty to enjoy throughout the weekend! Of course, you can also choose to make this into one large loaf or muffins. Completely up to you based on your preference!
With fresh apple throughout, and a slight spice flavor in every bite….we all but inhaled our slices of bread!
I found the best way to enjoy this was slightly warmed up with a bit of butter spread on top. My kids preferred theirs room temp, without butter…..so whichever you choose….you can’t go wrong!
Not only does this Incredible Apple Bread make a great breakfast or snack, but it also freezes perfectly! Perhaps enjoy a loaf now and freeze a few for later. Or, bring some to your friends, family, and neighbors!
I love to send quick breads in for my kids teachers because its a quick, little surprise they always enjoy!
Although its not apple season, I highly recommend heading to your grocery store and grabbing some apples, maybe they’ll even be on sale! You can whip this up and prepare for any gathering!

Looks delicious! Do you think I could use the grater attachment of my food processor? I am notorious for cutting myself using a hand held grater.
Kristin
Definitely! That would work great! I struggle with my hand held grater too, I always cut myself, its awful!!
Maureen
I used the hand grater and it worked fine. I added nuts to the mixture but otherwise made it as written. My question is there was so much juice I. The bottom of the bowl, I drained a lot of it off but should I have mixed it all in?
Kristin
Yes, there ends up being a lot of liquid from the apples! You can add it into the bread and it keeps it nice and moist. If you drain some, that works too, just won’t be as moist of a bread!
As for the hand grater, it definitely works great, I just end up going too fast and before I know it, I sliced my finger, haha!
Laura
Is there an egg substitute? Would love to make this for my daughter who’s vegan.
Kristin
You can use mashed banana in place of the egg as a substitute! Enjoy!
Terry Haines
can i use applesauce instead of apples
Kristin
The apples produce a lot of liquid in this recipe, so the applesauce should work fairly well. May not be AS moist or at least might change the texture slightly, but overall, I don’t see why that wouldn’t be an option that works good!! Enjoy!
Nell Murphy
If you don’t have apples can you use a can of apple pie filling instead?
Kristin
I don’t see why that wouldn’t work. Try to get most of the liquid out first. Maybe about 1 cup of the filling? Should be good!!
cindy
Can you make a few and freeze them?
Kristin
Absolutely! That works perfectly with this recipe!
Ann Edgecombe
2 apples = about how many cups? Apples vary so much in size!
Kristin
I would say about 1 cup roughly! If you go over/under slightly, that is okay!
