Following is a delicious Homemade Apple Bread Recipe and guest post
by KC at The Real Thing with The Coake Family… enjoy!!

I love that fall is here with its crisp coolness, the leaves and all the fun that I think of in the fall. One of the ways we have fun in the fall is to go apple picking. For us, it is such a great fall family activity. Once we have picked all those apples, often 20 lbs or more, it is time to start using them up and having some delicious fun with them.

One idea is to make this Homemade Apple Bread Recipe.  My cousin shared this recipe with me about 4 years ago. Yep, I’m quick like that. I finally got around to trying it this year. She had some modifications from the original recipe and I modified it a little bit more.

This apple bread certainly didn’t disappoint. It was moist with great flavors and a crunchy, delicious topping.

Apple Bread Recipes

The apple orchard we go to is on a mountain, which means we spend the day hiking up and down the hills, not to mention carrying all those pounds of apples around. After a day in the apple orchard, the last thing I want to do is spend a long time cooking.

This recipe is easy to mix together. Then it just bakes in the oven for 50-60 minutes. Easy Peasy. Perfect for an evening following the apple orchard, a day at work or a busy weekend.

Easy Apple Bread Recipe

The original recipe called for oil and white flour as well as full fat sour cream. My cousin gave me the idea to change a few of those things and I then changed a few of her ideas as well

In the end, you have a recipe that is a little bit healthier by using applesauce rather than oil and light sour cream rather than full fat sour cream.   I also always cook with white whole wheat flour as it adds some additional healthiness over traditional white flour

My cousin added the toasted oat bran to the topping on the bread, which adds some additional fiber among other things. Putting all of these little changes together makes the overall end result a little bit healthier.

It doesn’t lose anything in the flavor department, if anything the use of the applesauce for the oil ups the apple flavor in the bread. Easy Apple Bread Recipes

The recipe will make two loaves of apple bread. If your house is like mine, it will go quickly. I couldn’t even get them to wait until I had taken the pictures (hence why the one loaf is never fully in the other pictures).

Can you tell that we had already eaten a few slices before I got to the pictures….the cut up loaf is a bit smaller than had I just cut those slices for the pictures. We just couldn’t wait…it was too delicious!

    Would whole wheat pastry flour work in this recipe?

    SO the recipe I made was fabulous, but I edited it like Idoevery recipe. I just wanted it to be even more healthy for my family and fiance. My fiance in particular, because he had a slight weight problem. So anyway, first of all instead of whole wheat flour ( since I just don’t use it) I used AP, then I left the peeling on the apples instead of peeling it off (it’s better for your digestive system, unless you are having radiation done), anyway I didn’t stop their… since I had a recent family visit from out of town I had some left over grape nut cereal (not the flakes) and what I did with them was I took 1/2 cup & soaked it in 3/4 cup milk while mixing the recipe then strained what little was left of the milk out and stirred the grape nuts in at the last min. And last but not least since I didn’t have oat bran I subbed for plain oatmeal instead. I put the whole topping mix on one loaf before putting in the oven and made the other a caramel apple bread by cutting slits on top of the bread & using a spoon to put in my fresh made caramel just after it came out of the oven, then put foil on top and let it sit for an hour before eating. EVERYTHING was delicious!!
