Okay, in my world I’ve transitioned to Fall-we won’t talk about the fact that it’s still in the upper 80s or 90s every day!  So apples, pumpkins, mums and gourds are all I can think about!

I whipped up this easy cinnamon apple bread recipe last weekend to prepare for the momentous occasion of college football starting back up and wanted to share it with you today.  This bread is ah-mazingly delicious (I know I made that word up but believe me, it warrants it’s own made up superlatives!)

I can’t even describe to you how insanely good this apple bread makes your house smell while its baking-and it’s perfection to have a slice when it’s warm out of the oven! If you try it too I’d love it if you popped back and gave it a five-star review in the comments section!

How to Make Apple Bread

  • Mix the cinnamon sugar and chop your apples. Set aside.
  • Stir up batter in a stand mixer (affiliate link) or with a hand mixer.
  • Spray a loaf pan with nonstick spray and pour in half of the batter. Top with half of the apples and cinnamon sugar mixture.
  • Pour in remaining batter and tops with remaining apples and cinnamon sugar.
  • Pat toppings into the top of the bread with the back of a spoon and bake for 50 minutes.
  • Let cool ten minutes before removing from the pan.

Tips for Making the Best Apple Bread

  • Be sure to choose a firm apple variety such as Granny Smith, Pink Lady, Gala or Fuji. Softer types of apples won’t stand up to the baking.
  • Swirl a knife through the batter if desired before baking.

Can I Freeze Apple Bread?

Yes, this bread freezes well. Simply allow the bread to cool completely then wrap in foil and store in a freezer bag. When you are ready to eat the bread, allow to thaw at room temperature before serving.

  1. Made this today. It was awesome. I used self rising flour instead of regular flour. Turn out great. I can’t sau enough of how good it was.






  2. I have the Pamper Chef mini bread pan, It makes 8 mini loaves. Do you think one single loaf of bread would fill all the loaves. I also thought I would cut my apples smaller. What do you think? The pan is turquoise

      1. Did you try it? I’m going to use my mini pan today for this recipe and would like to know how much I should reduce baking time.

      1. The recipe is wonderful. I added zest of half an orange and juice of the half of orange. I also added chopped pecans. Yum yum. I used cosmic crisp apple. Its tart and sweet. It held up well

  3. I tried it. It was ok, but as another viewer stated it needs more batter, cause it was heavy. Thanks for sharing.

  4. My Dad loves sweet breads and apple desserts. I made this for his birthday and he just texted to say it’s the best dessert bread he’s ever had in his 68 years! Quite the statement! Thank you for sharing this tasty recipe!






  5. I just had to say thank you for this recipe. My hubby has a sweet tooth and loves to have baked goods hanging around at all times. Of course, he doesn’t bake, so I am always on the lookout for quick and easy recipes. So far I have used fresh apples, canned peaches, canned pears and fresh bananas in this recipe. Each fruit has worked beautifully for me. The only thing I do different is to add more fruit than is called for, other than that no changes. So delicious! Highly recommend trying it.






  6. I am a full believer if you review a recipe you should follow the recipe. That being said it was very good but next time I prefer more batter. Again thanks for the recipe.






  7. Quite good. Family says best apple bread ever. Baked this in a springform pan. Low on sour cream so substituted cottage cheese whipped with a squeeze of lemon for most of the sour cream. Also I grated the apples.






  8. Wow I made this today and it’s absolutely delishious. Thank you for sharing the recipe. I would have put a picture but I ate half of it already lol
