Apple Pie Bread
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.
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.

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.
