Double-Apple Walnut Bread Recipe
Print Friendly and PDF

Our Double-Apple Walnut Bread is the perfect bread for fall! Packed with fruit and walnuts, it just tastes like autumn and is a great seasonal alternative to traditional banana bread.

Served warm or cold, this apple walnut bread makes a great breakfast, snack, or dessert! 

Ingredients
1 cup sweetened or unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup plain or vanilla yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup peeled, cored, and finely diced apple
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper, if desired. 

In a bowl, combine applesauce, 1/2 cup of sugar, brown sugar, eggs, oil, yogurt, and vanilla. Whisk to blend.

In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Make a well and add applesauce mixture. Stir until combined. Fold in diced apples and walnuts. Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar. 

Bake on the center oven rack for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. 

Transfer to a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Turn the bread out of the pan and cool thoroughly before slicing.

Thank you for your Double Apple and Walnut Cake recipe. I look forward to making it when it cools down and autumn finally arrives.

It is disappointing that all of your recipes contain so much sugar. It is just not necessary.

This made a fantastic loaf! Used our own homemade apple sauce (no sugar added) and did not have yogurt so I substituted sour cream (no extra sugar). It was just perfect and incredibly moist. I personal observation - let the loaf sit in the pan to cool. We became impatient and the loaf broke apart when trying to take out of the baking pan whilst still hot. Wait about 10 minutes before doing this. I will make this again.

This is the best apple bread I have ever made and I am 77 years old. I do make my own applesauce so used that instead of store bought. I use whatever apples that are on sale, core them but leave the peel on, chunk them, add a very small amount of water so they won't burn when I start them cooking, and use a hand blender until they are not chunks left. I normally use pecans for baking but used the stated walnuts for this recipe and believe that is definitely the best nut for this recipe.

I would have liked to print this recipe for future reference. But didn't see a print icon.
