Tips:

  • Choose the Right Apples: Use a variety of apples with different textures and flavors for a complex and delicious bread. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all great choices.
  • Don't Peel the Apples: Leaving the skin on the apples adds color, texture, and nutrients to the bread.
  • Use Fresh Lemon Juice: Fresh lemon juice helps to prevent the apples from browning and adds a bright flavor to the bread.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter will result in a tough bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the Bread Until a Toothpick Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: This is the best way to ensure that the bread is cooked through.
