FAQs

How do I keep the bread moist?

Make sure not to overmix the batter and avoid overbaking. The apples naturally add moisture.

Yes, but the texture will be slightly different. Rolled oats give a heartier bite.

Can I make this bread without the glaze?

Absolutely! The bread is delicious on its own, but the glaze adds extra sweetness.

What type of apples work best?

Firm apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji hold up well in baking.

Can I make muffins instead of a loaf?

Yes! Pour the batter into muffin tins and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 18-22 minutes.

How do I prevent the apples from sinking?

Toss the apple pieces in a little flour before folding them into the batter.

Can I use a sugar substitute?

Yes, you can use alternatives like coconut sugar, honey, or a sugar-free sweetener.

What can I use instead of butter?

You can replace melted butter with coconut oil or vegetable oil.

How do I know when the bread is done?

A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean with no wet batter.

Can I double the recipe?
