Ingredients for apple bread

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious, homemade apple bread. See recipe card below for exact measurements.

• apple: You can use any apples you like, but Honeycrisp and Gala are the best for baking because they are naturally sweeter, you won’t need to add as much sugar. Pink lady, Golden delicious, Braeburn or Granny smith apples can also be used.
• Apple Marinade: Let the diced apples sit in a mixture of lemon juice, agave and cinnamon to enhance their flavor. Granulated sugar can be substituted for agave.
• applesauce: I think this apple pecan bread is so much better with homemade applesauce, so if you have lots of apples, check out my easy slow cooker applesauce recipe. If buying ready-made, choose unsweetened applesauce.
• Flour: Use white whole wheat flour for extra protein and fiber. All purpose flour will also work.
• Brown sugar: For sweetness, I also tested it with monk fruit brown sugar with great success.
• Bicarbonate of soda helps the bread to rise.
• Spices and extract: Cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, vanilla extract
• salt improves the taste and texture of apple nut bread.
• Oil: The only fat in this bread is two tablespoons of vegetable oil.
• Eggs: You will need two egg whites.
• Nuts: Chop 1 ½ ounces walnuts.
