Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Bread Pan: I use a 9x5x2” bread pan
  • Apple Peeler

Ingredients

Bread Ingredients

  • ½ cup shortening
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¾ cup buttermilk
  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ½ tsp ground cardamom
  • 2 cups apples, I used honeycrisp, peeled and finely chopped

Topping Ingredients

  • ¼ cup all purpose flour
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 Tbsp butter, melted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • In a large bowl, add all of the bread ingredients except for the apples. Use an electric hand mixer to combine everything together.
  • Use a rubber spatula to stir the diced apples into the batter.
  • Pour the batter into a greased 9x5x2 bread loaf pan.
  • In a small bowl, stir the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon together. Drizzle with the melted butter, and stir until a crumble forms.
  • Spoon the crumble over the top of the batter in the bread pan.
  • Bake the apple bread for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Allow the bread to rest until it comes to room temperature. Then serve with butter and a warm beverage. Enjoy!

Notes

Recipe Copyright The Domestic Spoon. For educational or personal use only.
  • Apples: I used honeycrisp because they have just the right amount of tartness but you could use Braeburn, Fuji, Pink Lady or Granny Smith. I don’t recommend using Gala or Red Delicious as the flavor is more mild in these varieties.
  • All Purpose Flour: If necessary, you can substitute this with 1:1 Gluten Free Flour.
  • Allow the bread to cool completely before you try to cut into it. Cutting it too soon will cause it to fall apart.
  • You can use this same recipe to make muffins or mini loaves. Be sure and adjust your cooking time!
  • The cinnamon crumble on top gives this bread plenty of flavor but you could dress it up even more by adding some Maple Cream Cheese Frosting!
