Applesauce Bread is a simple and spicy quick bread is made with applesauce, sugar, butter and warm spices. Prep time is just five minutes and after baking in the oven your whole house will smell like fall.
I love making fresh bread, especially what I call dessert bread (ya’ know, banana bread, chocolate, cinnamon roll….). Especially in the fall I get the urge more and more to bake in the kitchen and fill our bellies with warm pastry items.

Applesauce Bread
This recipe just takes some simple kitchen staples and spices that you’ve probably already got at home along with some applesauce. It’s incredibly easy to make and takes just a few minutes to whip together. Go ahead and preheat your oven and let’s bake.
Ingredients You Need
- Flour. All-purpose flour. Make sure not to use self-rising because we will be adding in the baking soda and salt ourselves.
- Baking Soda
- Baking Powder
- Salt
- Ground Cinnamon
- Ground Nutmeg
- Allspice
- Eggs
- Applesauce. Any basic applesauce will work for this recipe.
- Granulated Sugar and Brown Sugar

- Course Salt (optional)
How To Make Applesauce Bread
Our quick applesauce bread recipe is literally just three steps. That’s it! Take a look at how easy this is.
- Stir. Whisk together all the dry ingredients in a big bowl. In a different bowl, beat the wet ingredients.
- Mix. Combine them by adding the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until they’re totally combined.
- Bake. Pour in the coated pan and sprinkle with salt. Then cook for an hour and allow the bread to cool completely in the pan before removing.
Of course this bread goes so good with cold milk, warm cocoa or cider, hot coffee and lots of delicious homemade jams. This is also a really great treat to share with others! I love baking extras and taking one to a neighbor or a friend. (I also love when I’m on the receiving end of that!)
Enjoy your fall bread and the delicious smells that are filling your house as it cooks!
