CHUNKY APPLE BREAD



Chunky Apple Bread image

This is from the January 2002 Quick Cooking magazine. It was sent in by Joan Hallford, N. Richland Hills Texas. I have made it several times and really like it. The bread is fantastic toasted with butter. It makes two small loafs so I freeze one. There was an Editor's note that fat free Mayonnaise should not be used. One teaspoon vinegar in regular milk replaces the buttermilk.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a firm, tart apple that will hold its shape when baked, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. This article recommends Honeycrisp, Gala, Granny Smith, Braeburn, or Pink Lady apples for their sweet-tart flavors and firm texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will result in a tough bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use fresh baking powder: Old baking powder can result in a flat bread. Make sure your baking powder is fresh and active.
  • Don't overbake the bread: Overbaking will result in a dry bread. Check the bread for doneness about 10 minutes before the end of the baking time.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help the bread to set and make it easier to slice.

Chunky apple bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.
