This is my favorite apple bread! It’s easy to make and has a rich, moist texture with loads of apple flavor. The sugar, cinnamon and apples all harmonize perfectly. Everything about it is excellent. It’s perfect for fall days when the leaves begin fluttering off the trees, the symphony of singing birds quiets down and the mornings begin beckoning that winter is coming. I hope you give this bread a try because I know it’ll become a family favorite. There’s something about it that encourages social interactions. It reminds me of times past when my mom would sit with neighbors who turned into friends. Whoever was hosting would put on the kettle, bring out something freshly baked and then everyone would relax and chat before starting dinner.
I often wish those days would return. There was something so kind and sweet in them. Instead of needing to book an appointment with a friend that is weeks away, the social visits were relaxed, untimed and happened by chance. This bread has that kind of feeling to it. When I make it I begin hoping someone will ring my bell and want to come in for a visit.
Even so, this is a mini loaf but below I’ve linked the recipe it’s based off. If you use that version you can make 2 loaves. Freeze one and bring the other to a gathering. I promise people will want the recipe. It’s a crowd pleaser and is that good.

MINI APPLE BREAD
RECIPE
6 servings
Per serving: 127 cals/5.8F/.5sat fat/16.6C/9.3sugar/1.9P
1/2 cup (63g) All purpose flour
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp baking soda
Pinch of baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 (25g) egg
1/4 cup (50g) sugar
2 tbs oil
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup (30g) peeled, diced apple
1 tbs (48g) chopped walnuts
- Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and add parchment paper to a mini loaf pan (5x3 1/2 x 2).
- Mix flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- Beat egg, sugar, oil and vanilla. Beat until frothy. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and combine. Don’t mix all the flour in thoroughly. Then add apples and nuts. Stir until just combined.
- Add to prepared pan. Batter will be thick and it’s normal. This doesn’t make a tall loaf. Smooth it out and bake. Bake 30-40 mins until toothpick in center comes out. Tip: test in the cracked parts of the bread that tends to remain sticky. You want that part to come out clean.
- Allow to cool 15 mins in pan. Then remove from pan, remove parchment and cool. Don’t use a serrated knife to cut.
