Spiced Apple Bread Recipe
Ingredients
2 cups sweet apples - shredded or chopped finely
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup butter
2 small eggs (or 1.5 large eggs)
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup finely chopped nuts (optional)
Method
Cream the butter (at room temp) with the sugar, then combine with the oil, eggs, and vanilla and set aside.
In another bowl, sift the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, soda, and salt. Add dry ingredients to oil mixture gradually. Finally add the apples and nuts.
Grease one loaf pan, or line it with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the pan, and bake at 325 deg F for about 50 mins (check after 40 mins) till its brown on the outside, appears crusty, and the toothpick test passes.
Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the pan after switching off the oven, then let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Run a knife under warm tap water, and use this to slice the bread. Store in an air-tight container. Enjoy this delicious Spiced Apple Bread with butter or honey as you celebrate Fall flavors!

yum! love fruit loaves... just made a great prune plum one... this is next... thanks...
I made a bread this week too - slightly different flavors but I just love all that spicy aroma floating into the house! Don't you?
spiced apple bread is really tempting.. would love this combo with some chocolate in it:-)
I love apple cake. I think one never get fed up eating them as they are always delicious.
This looks really tasty! I love apples, and this seems like a great way to enjoy them.
Love that it is bread, but not nearly as difficult as making one, with the long kneading process and all that.
So, does it taste sweet?
thank you folks! glad you all liked it! I am a fan of this apple bread too!
anu - yes, it is sweet, but not as much as cake or banana bread; mildly sweet with spiced flavor, perfect with tea or coffee:)
that looks awesome!! just what I needed to bake this weekend!:)

lovely recipe mansi....can yeast be used to replace the eggs?
nice and delicious Bread... love the recipe
hi Priyanka - just use 1/2 cup applesauce instead of the eggs, and 1/2 tsp more baking soda. You won't even need to use yeast, and the bread will have a better Apple flavor!:)
I think you can def use yeast, but I haven't tried it, so I cannot comment for sure about the quantity.
hope this helps!
I made a similar one wih mango..Will be posting soon..
beautiful bread.
The most perfect looking bread I have seen !
I have noticed a beautiful brown color apple cakes/ breads have owing to apple's natural browning.
Thanks for sharing the recipe.
hmmm...Cake is looking so fluffy & Yummy,
would love to have it with some cream & toppings too :-)
this looks tempting. Mansi wud u tell me how it becomes very fluffy. whenever I try it doesnot come out well. very thick :(.
Apples and Spice in bread, must be heavenly Mansi.
Haven't made a fruit loaf in a long time.
Mansi
I just baked this bread, from your recipe (and ended up eating a LOT of it by myself). Tweaked it a little bit and added ginger and prunes too.
really the aroma around the house is irresistible. :-)
Hopefully will be able to post it soon ..
Thanks for sharing.
Mansi,
What a nice recipe for the fall, I usually bake banana brea doften, this one seems like a great change. Thanks very much for sharing.
thanks Soma! for testifying my recipe!:)
Bhawana - the baking powder and eggs shoudl def make it rise. Maybe you should try to beat the eggs more; the fluffier and paler in color they look, the better rise you'll get.
also, do not open the oven before 40 mins at least; sometime ppl do that to check on the bread, and the air escapes out of the dough, making it sag...
hope this helps!:)
I've been getting into a habit where I'm baking fruit breads for my breakfast during the work week. This sounds perfect for the coming week--it looks delicious!
nothing better than to relish ina slice of this spiced bread...
I am going to surely try this one. Have a lot of apples in my refrigerator and have been wondering what to do with them.
This is going to smell wonderful while baking. Love the honey idea!
Yes I can taste "harvest" in my mouth! :-)
Thx for your participation in WBD.
Thanks Mansi for this info. I dont have egg beater so I shake that in grinder machine. is that ok???
N u r rite about opening oven bcoz I do that in every 10 min :(. Will try once more. Now I am so scared of trying cakes as they r so thick that even I dont like eating them :(.
hi Bhawana - just take a spoon or a ladle ad whip up the eggs with it; beat them for a minute, in one direction only, till they become pale...don't use a grinder.
This is awesome Mansi. Would love to make it.. How much white sugar do you think I can use instead of the brown. I want to make this for breakfast, so I dont want it too sweet... thanks !
I tried this last Sunday and it was great. Definitely loved the pecans I put in there. Check out my blog...http://exmentchef.blogspot.com/
Just made one.....turned out great! thanks :)
this is one of my favorite bread recipes, so I'm happy people are trying and testifying it!
Pallavi - sorry for the late reply, but you can use the same quantity of white sugar for brown; this bread wouldn't be too sweet, so don't worry:)
Tried this recipe, superb results! here is my experience :

Hello
Just found this recipe while i was searching for apple cakes. I have a question. The Cup measurement mentioned here is any cup or the U.S Standard cup measure?
Hi Karie, its a standard US cup measure.
thank you mansi for the reply. I shall get into baking the apple bread now. Will post my comments too :-)
Hi Mansi,
Just finished baking this apple bread. Was yummy!
I did not have a loaf pan so baked it in a normal round cake pan. the taste was heavenly!!
thanks for sharing this recipe.
Very nice apple bread. I made a loaf yesterday we love it. Lot too sweet and it isn't over-moist as some quick bread s with fresh fruit can be. I even swapped out some of the white flour for wheat. Well done!
