APPLE PIE BREAD
Apple Pie Bread is so good, you won’t be able to leave it alone. There is never any left.
This Apple Pie Bread recipe is one you will make over and over again. It is a great way to use up apples and goes good with coffee or as a snack with milk. This bread makes a great gift. My weakness when it comes to food is bread of any kind and I am always making bread.
Apple pie bread is a delicious quick bread.
Batter:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup white granulated sugar
1/2 cup butter or 8 tablespoons or 1 stick, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup sour cream
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
2 cups shredded, peeled apples (I used red delicious)
Whisk together the flour, salt and baking soda in a large bowl. Add white sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract, sour cream, buttermilk and eggs. Mix well with a spoon. Fold in shredded apples. Spray a 9 x 5 bread pan with cooking spray and add the batter.
Swirl:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
3/4 cup raisins
Mix together with a spoon and spread over batter as in photo below. Take a knife and swirl into batter.
Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 65 to 70 minutes testing to make sure bread is done in center. Let cool 10 to 15 minutes and remove from pan.
Topping for Cooked Apple Bread:
3/4 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons milk, more or less
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Mix together with spoon and drizzle over bread once bread has cooled.
Makes 1 loaf. Enjoy!
Note: You can freeze this bread or reheat. It keeps well for several days in a cool, dry place. You can also refrigerate. If you want to make it special, soak your raisins in about 1/4 cup bourbon before adding to the bread.

So moist & delicious!!! What a fantastic recipe! I came across another one of your recipes on FB and I needed to make something with all the apples I picked this week. WOW. Foolproof.
I used Honeycrisp Apples which are my favorite. But I was surprised that I couldn’t taste the apple flavor very well. Wonder if I could substitute the buttermilk for apple cider? Or does that play a significant part in the bread’s structure? I would love to hear your thoughts! Thank you!
I would not take the buttermilk out of this bread. The buttermilk definitely contributes to the texture of the bread. My guess is that your apples didn’t have a strong flavor so maybe try a different type of apple next time. Thanks!
Can you use almond flour. Can’t have regular.
I’ve never made this with almond flour so I can’t advise. Thanks!
Loved it! Made several times.
Question…. is this adaptable to muffins?
Thank you for this quick, easy, delicious dessert!
I was mixing this tired and accidentally put in too much buttermilk. Luckily, because I reread the instructions I was able to pour some out before I mixed the batter. I didn’t have a pan big enough to double the recipe. I also used the additional buttermilk as a substitute for the sour cream (I only had 2 tbsp of sour cream. I was tired so I just cubed the apples instead of shredding them. Still tasted good! It was crispy on the sides and edges and I had to take it out of the oven at 55 minutes.
This recipe is tired-proof! Haha.
I’m going to look for more apple recipes because I live in Washington and they’re always around.
Thanks again!
The apple pie bread was delicious, it went fast in our home.
Wonderful! We’re thrilled you enjoyed it.
Delicious apples pie bread so good and thank you for sharing a five stars ⭐️
Going to make this do you think raisins would work if soaked in amarreto?
Yes, that should work for you Carol.
bl….dy great tasting treats
all look great
Looks yummy. Is the 350 oven temp for dark metal pans as well as glass bread pans? Thanks!
Yes, I have used both at this temperature.
Hi. I don’t buy buttermilk since nobody cares for it. Is there anything else I can use for substitute in Apple Pie Bread.
Hi Karen, You can make a substitute for buttermilk. Just click the link to find out how. Also, you can probably use just regular milk and be ok with this recipe. https://thesouthernladycooks.com/2014/10/22/handy-food-tip-substitute-for-buttermilk-in-recipes/
Try Lactaid and put a little vinegar in it to sour. I don’t know if it will work or not, but I’d try it before mixing any of the other ingredients together.
This bread is unbelievably good. I cook a lot but don’t normally review, but on this one I couldn’t help myself – I had to review. It makes a pretty loaf. I could have eaten the whole loaf.
Thank you, Karen! So happy you like this bread and thank you for letting me know.Have a great weekend.
Made this tonight. Soaked the raisins in bourbon, very good. This is a keeper.
Thank you so much Marie! Happy you enjoyed this recipe.
Made this last night and really enjoyed it. Left off raisins(preferences) and husband says ‘it’s a keeper recipe’. I agree.
Thank you so much Jennie for letting me know and happy you all enjoyed the bread. Have a great weekend.
