Tips & Variations

• You can leave the apple peels on for extra texture and nutrients, or peel them if you prefer a smoother bread.
• If you like, add a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans for crunch.
• Adjust the cinnamon to your taste, or add a pinch of nutmeg for more warm spice.
• Bake time may vary—check your bread around 60 minutes and extend baking if needed to avoid undercooked centers.

Storage

Store the apple bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap tightly and refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, warm slices briefly in a toaster oven or microwave until just heated through for best texture.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of oil?
