Made it this morning. Used 2 1/2 cups apples and for the glaze I used apple cider instead of milk. Family loved it!!
Mine came out where the middle apples settled towards the bottom and is crumbly. What should I do differently?
First I made this bread and what a wonderful, moist bread this is. I did add the extra flour (1/4 cup) as suggested and I mixed the chopped apples into the batter. Since I needed something for a morning coffee get-together I decided to double the recipe and bake it in a buttered 13×9 pan, using 350 degree oven and baking it for 40 minutes. It was equally delicious & moist and received many compliments. Thanks for the recipe. I will be making this again.
Am I the only one who had problems with the brown sugar burning on top before the bread was fully done? What went wrong?
I had the issue with it not getting done. Had to bake it an extra thirty minutes! And my oven is brand new, bought this month, so I know it wasn’t the oven. Next time I’ll bake it in an 8×8 pan instead.
Same…
Steve, when you see that the top is getting a golden / dark crust, try putting some aluminum foil loosely over top, that will prevent burning… that’s what I do when making any kind of bread. Good luck.
Excellent recipe! I followed it as written but added 1/2 tsp of nutmeg to the apple mixture. I also doubled and it came out beautifully!
Be sure to make the parchment hammock to pans for easy transfer from pan when done!!!
One of my favorites. I’ve made it 3 times in a week. Some for neighbors, some for family and of course for us! So good!
i made the mistake of sharing this bread with people. Now everyone wants it. I’ve made it 20 times. It’s too good.
Yum
I made this to take to my Brother and sister -N-Law , it was so good
I’m making my husband his own loaf this evening and I also am going to try this with peaches for my mom
