Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper, if desired.
In a bowl, combine applesauce, ½ cup of sugar, brown sugar, eggs, oil, yogurt, and vanilla in a bowl. 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 the remaining 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.

Excellent
I made this and it was simple and delicious. It gets better with everyday. This kind of loaf cake is like banana bread it is always better on the 2nd day. All the moisture sets in and makes it taste better too. So make a day ahead. This loaf recipes goes on my go to list and I am a wekk seasoned cook! of 69 years old. I make everything from scratch including bread. ;-)
no sugar, no white four
For anyone wishing to change this recipe, I suggest that you go online and find the stevia equivalent to sugar used; also try the other flours but search for substitution guidelines also.
No guarantee the first try will be perfect, but with a bit of effort, I am sure it can be altered to your needs.
double apple walnut bread
Made this yesterday, (I do not bake, because i am not good at it) This bread made me change my mind. I would love to have this on hand at all times. This was so good my husband and i could not stop raving about it. My question is how does it freeze or does it, that way I can have a loaf for visitors. Thank You So Much for this Recipe. It is the BEST
how to freeze quickbreads
Hi, Rita. We are so pleased that you enjoyed this recipe so much. Yes, you can freeze it! Be sure to wrap it well and use within four months. Keep baking!
GRATING APPLES
I used the wide hole side of my box grater on the apples this time instead of dicing. I liked the resulting texture much more. Try it, just watch those fingers. LOL
Very Scrumptious
I love making this recipe for my group of friends. My friend Arthur Morgan says he really enjoys the autumn taste that comes from the apple. After I finish baking it I turn round to my good friend Arthur and always ask him just one more and then we are done.
Apples Matter?
Can you give the type of apples that you use as reference? I'm curious if it matters; say Granny Smith vs Fuji or Honey Crisp? Any input is appreciated.
Thanks!
Mutsu apples
Myself, I have used other apples, such as braeburn, yellow delicious, gala, granny smith, fugi etc. just to name a few. My favorite is Mutsu and has been for years and will always be my favorite.
Double-Apple Walnut Bread
My great grandson is allergic to bananas so I have been using apples instead. This recipe is close to mine but I also add 1/2 cup of coconut to mine and use pecans.
Apple walnut bread
I am excited to try this recipe it sounds amazing I’m always looking for new apple recipes to try as fall is my favorite time of the year!
Why can't u use a more
Why can't u use a more healthier alternative to sugar and white flour in all your recipes like stevia and buckwheat or even whole grain flour? Dr. Oz's recipes are far more healthier than yours!!!!
WOW Vera! Ever hear of
WOW Vera! Ever hear of "constructive" criticism?
There are other apple walnut recipes out there Vera
Most people, when looking at a recipe that does not meet their particular eating style would just keep browsing until they ran across a website that promoted that suited them more. Maybe try that.
You need to use Dr Oz’s
You need to use Dr Oz’s recipes. You don’t have to use this recipe if it’s not what you like.
EATING HEALTHY
My grandmother used recipes like this and she lived to be 101 years old, was never on any medications. I'd say that's eating pretty healthy!!!
Apple Walnut Bread
No need to be ugly Vera. Why don’t you make it anyway you and Dr Oz would like and the rest of us will make it the way we would like it. Very sad, Its totally unnecessary to get negative and critical.
