    This recipe is delicious. I increased the cinnamon in the apple filling to to 2 tsp (we love cinnamon). I combined Granny Smith & Honeycrisp apples. Will definitely make again.
    Thank you for this wonderful recipe.

    1. Jill says:

      Thank you Renee!

  3. Liberty Pirisino says:

    So no salt in the recipe? Or did I miss it?

    1. Jill says:

      Hi Liberty. There is no salt in the recipe. If you use salted butter it will add enough. If you use unsalted you can add 1/4 teaspoon if you’d like.

  4. Mirta says:

    I can’t wait to try this! Looks delicious. What apples do you use?
    Thanks

    1. Jill says:

      Hi Mirta. Honeycrisp and Granny Smith are our favorites for baking.

    Fabulous recipe; I will be making this at least once a week! So delicious!

      Thank you Nancy!

  9. Evie says:

    I’ve made the loaf and it’s great! Can I make them into cupcakes with the same layering system? How long do I bake them for?

    1. Jill says:

      Hi Evie. We have not made these in muffin tins but several readers have done so with success. Baking time should be similar.
