I’ve had a really productive Sunday. I usually get a lot done around the house when the weather is cold and windy like today. It puts me in the mood to clean and/or bake!
So I’ve cleaned out my refrigerator, organized my spice drawer and prepped dinner for the entire week. I also managed to bake up this amazing apple pie bread. I’ve been drowning in apples all week after getting a great deal at the Farmers Market. I make apple pie bread religiously around this time of year. I love how it just scents up the entire house with those warm, comforting autumn spices.
apple pie bread recipe
This apple pie bread recipe bakes up super soft and moist. The crumb topping is to die for. I made this bread around 2:00 pm and it’s now 9:36 pm and it’s almost gone. It never lasts long around here especially after my husband gets to it. He eat huge slabs with his coffee and my toddler loves this stuff.
Cooking time may vary especially depending on the type of loaf pan you use. I prefer using glass loaf pans. Keep a close eye on it after the first hour. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO OVERWORK THE FLOUR. STIR JUST UNTIL COMBINED.

Hi Monique!
I love your blog! I made the apple pie bread this morning. I followed the recipe to the letter except I made mini loaves and used two types of apples. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe!
Hi Monique
I made this bread!!! Girl you are good! So easy to make and everyone said it was “on point” thank you so much for this recipe.
PS : You were right, it made my house smell amazing!!!
Hi Monique, I have just one question, could i use regular milk instead of buttermilk? I live in mexico and its not easy to find lol 😀 Thank you so much for all the great recipes!!
You deserve 100 stars!
Monique,
I am new to your blog as of last week and I must say that everyday I’m on here looking at videos and recipes over and over again. I love to cook and you have the best recipes I have ever seen. The time you give to all in posting videos, recipes and pictures are so appreciated. From my heart I am praying the FAVOR of God over you and your families lives. Your skills and humor that you add to it all gives me so much inspiration to prepare meals for family and special events. You are the BEST! Blessings to you
Monique, I just made this tonight and it was an absolute hit! All of your recipes have been on point. Thanks for sharing your recipes -I have been using them religiously.
I absolutely love your recipes…i’m gonna start a blog called fellascancook :-)…Do you have a recipe for an apple cake? I’ve looked online and tried a couple of recipes that aren’t moist or sweet.
Hi Monique, Thanks for this recipe! Can we replace the buttermilk with sour cream?
I love ur videos please don’t ever stop making them , they are so awesome. Godbless
Monique,
I adore u and your channel! your webisite/blog is amazing! So put together and easy to follow…I can’t wait to find away to purchase your cookbooks!..
Loved the latest video you posted with hubby..you both are adorable..the “bickering” was cute too..especically loved the ending:)..Thank you to u both for all udo for us! -Angie
Ive made this recipe about 5 or 6 times & my family is in love! I made muffins the last 2 times & froze the extra. So convenient. Thanks for sharing!
Monique,
I love your site. Thanks a bunch.
I’ve tried several of your recipes and I love them and this is a must. I will be making this for the weekend.
Thanks a lot for what you are doing to help us to prepare great food. Please over look those who are unappreciative.
Could I just use self-rising flour?
I’m not one to always take the time out to leave comments about things but I have been enjoying your recipes so much now that I feel I MUST do this. (Hopefully this will also help encourage you to “keep em comin” :-D)
I made this bread a few weeks ago and it was sooooo good! My husband absolutely loved it! I’m about to use this recipe to (attempt to) make some small loaves to send off to my two children who are away at school. I hope it works (and that I can figure out a way to wrap and pack it properly for mailing). Thanks again for the wonderful recipes.
Awww thank you so much Danita! Yes it means A LOT that you left a comment!! So glad you are enjoyed this recipe. I have a post about mailing baked goods.
Hi Monique,
As for someone making the comment about your being “lazy” well, a good baker can look at the ingredients and do the math. Baking is not rocket science!! Keep up the good work. Your recipes are great. 🙂
I never post to sites, but I must give credit when and where it is due. I love your blog! The fact that you, somehow, find the time to blog, cook and run a household is amazing to me. To top it off, you do it all with class (no scarf on your head or wearing a house-dress)! Please keep ’em comin’. Your blog is a blessing to me and my family. No more hamburger helper here!
Thanks
Awww thank you Nikkie! That made me so happy!! I appreciate you just as much!!
Thank you all. I appreciate you all too. You have no idea how much!!
Omg you and this bread is freaking amazing. So moist so fluffy mmmmmm so delish. This is where it’s at people!!!!!!
Hi Monique,
Have you posted your apple butter recipe yet, and I missed it? My family and I love your recipes, they’re all so yummy! Keep up the good work
I made this today and my hubby love it, it was perfect for a chai tea, he doesn’t usually eat bread unless I made it as a muffin, this is a keeper, thanks for sharing this to us
Oh Lawd! I can’t make this! I’ll eat it all myself lol!
Thank you Monique for all your hard work that goes into making these videos. I truly appreciate all that you do. You are awesome! : )
Hi Monique, I tried this OUTSTANDINGLY AWESOME recipe over the last weekend, and oh my! The above words do not do your recipe ANY justice! Down here in Australia, we have nothing that compares to how exquisite this bad boy is (well maybe the Pavlova)! Thank you from the bottom of my heart/stomach for enlightening me on the pleasure that is… Apple Pie Bread!
Monique, Thanks so much for this recipe…making anything from scratch scares me..I”m the store box type =). Made the Apple Pie Bread this Morning all three of my kids and Hubby Loved it went perfect with Chai tea.
Monique,
Thank you so very much for the time and effort that you put into your blog. I understand that it is nothing less than true passion for what you do that keeps you going. You are much appreciated. Also, thanks to your son and husband for sharing a part of you with us. Keep up the good work.
I rarely comment, but I just wanted to say thank you so much for the time and talent you continually and FREELY share with the world. May many blessings come back to you and yours.
I’m making this bread right now! I have a bunch of apples that I didn’t know what to do with so this recipe came right on time!!
So far it smells delicious. Can’t wait to eat it! 🙂
Gosh, I agree with Alicia, why cant you take the time out to write out the recipe directions, what if we want to make a print out??? I think you are being a lazy blogger :S
I just addressed this issue in a video that I’m uploading as I type. I actually had to laugh out loud at the word “lazy” because just like most hard-working women I don’t get that privilege.
Here’s the thing…. I use to take step-by-step photos of my recipes and include the directions with each step. It was taking me a LONG time to post recipes since it just required so much time to type it all out along with upload and editing the photos. I then went to doing the video recipes with only an ingredients list which others agreed they liked it a lot better if it meant they would get more recipes a month plus a step-by-step video in the process. (it was win-win)
But here is a prime example of the phrase “you can’t please everybody!”
I do not think I’m a lazy blogger AT ALL!! I’m a hands-on mommy, wife, own a full-time business, homeschool my son, take great care of my home, and still manage to keep up a blog which any regular food blogger will tell you, is A LOT of work especially when you do 100% of the work and video recipes yourself.
Sooooo….if I’m taking the time out to make and share free video recipes that others might find helpful, post it on my site, edit the videos, post the ingredients, take a photo…. and you can’t take a couple of minutes to write out the steps then maybe I’m not the one being lazy. This blog is a hobby. I hope I’m not coming off as rude…just saying Robyn. Try to see things from a different angle before labeling someone as lazy or anything else for that matter.
Good for you Monique! Some times you have to let them know lol. Some people can be very unappreciative. Your doing a great job, keep it up.
P.S, I am also a busy mom of two toddlors, a wife, work full time as a nurse but I still find time to write these great recipes down. It only takes a few seconds because they are worth it. You can’t expect people to do everything for you. Again great job and keep them coming.
Well said Monique!! I can’t really believe people sometimes, I mean you are doing this for free, you have absolutely no obligation to do this, your recipes are amazing but still some people always find something to complain about!! I really appreciate all the work you put into your blog!
And to the people that complain about the instructions, what I usually do is put my tablet on an easel in the kitchen and watch the video as I cook, maybe this will help.
Anyway, THANKS Monique!! My bread is in the oven, I will let you know how it turns out!
Monique, my mouth dropped after I read this person’s post. However, your response was very well stated (probably much better than a response I would have given). I totally second everything Natacha wrote especially regarding the appreciation of all the work you put into your blog! As a matter of fact, I also use my iPad in the kitchen to watch your video instructions as I cook. It works out just fine!
Leave Monique alone!!!! She’s no where near lazy & i appreciate what she’s doin!!! Stop bein so negatv tht’s why ppl gt dscouraged & stop helpn others!!! I luv her recipes n tips & if u don’t thn leave her blog!!! smh…
would you say 350F is hot enough for this recipe, monique?
would you say the oven should be preheated to about 350F, monique?
You posted this on my birthday. =) lol Awesome. I’m going to make this. Just a question, do you have to use buttermilk? What about regular milk (2%)? Oh, and I like the (new?) site design. I haven’t been on here in a while!
yes you can use regular milk, just add a tablespoon of distilled white vinegar or lemon juice to it.
It would be nice if you could write out the directions for the recipe and not just the ingredients.
monique how much butter do you use for the crumb topping it doesn’t say
This looks good, seriously. I thought you abandoned your fans, no, not really, just playing. I love quick breads and I’ve never seen a recipe like this one before. I can’t wait to try it.
I’d NEVER abandon my fans! Ya can’t get rid of me that easy! lol I know right, I love quick breads too. I’m thinking about making a few more batches to freeze.
I think that’s a great idea, especially if you’re short on time. You can just pull one loaf out the freezer and have a good snack to eat.
