Two years ago, Randi from I Have to Say posted this recipe for apple bread. I can’t link to the original recipe she posted because her archives don’t go back that far, so I will post it here with the understanding Randi gets the credit for the find. It is the best apple bread and has become a late summer/early autumn staple at our house. I baked about eight or nine loaves of this bread last fall, the same the previous year. None of them lasted more than 24 hours. This weekend, I will be making a couple of loaves. I can’t wait.
I bet you have these ingredients in your pantry and in your produce drawer right now. Go, make it!
Harvest Apple Bread
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup sugar
1 cup peeled, shredded apple (one large apple does the trick—I usually use a Gala or Fuji)
1/4 cup oil
1 egg
1/3 cup milk
1/2 cup walnuts or pecans (I skip the nuts)
Mix the first 6 ingredients together in a bowl. Add all the other ingredients and stir until combined. Spoon batter into a greased loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes and then remove the bread. Cool the bread completely and cover in plastic wrap overnight.
I do have all those ingredients here! Looks yummy, will have to make it this weekend.
That apple bread is the death of me. Last time I made it, I think I ate the whole loaf myself. It is divine.
I was just thinking of it the other day in fact….
When you say shredded do you mean grated like you would do cheese? If not, what does shredded mean? Thanks, it sound delicious by the way!
Rachael—yes, I actually use a cheese grater to grate the apple! It works well, until you get down to the little tiny nub. Eat that. LOL.
Ooh, that sounds good! Any chance we could get a taste at bible study? LOL
Oh, that sounds delicious! I bet it’s really moist with the apple in it, right?
I’m making this…buying the apple(s) today!
This sounds (and looks) heavenly! And I do have all the ingredients at home. Hmmmm, my crystal ball says that there is an apple bread in my future!
I made this today (three times) and it is divine! May even be better than my beloved banana bread. Do you mind if I post this recipe on my recipe site? http://www.therecipesaid.com thanks.
Thanks Robin!
I made this yesterday, with the help of two boys. It was so good that the third boy actually stopped complaining about not being able to help.
Thanks for passing along the recipe.
