I gave this recipe 4 stars because I had to tweak it a bit. I’ve been baking for over 30 years so I can tell when things are missing !Make sure all of your ingredients are room temperature. I added the following: 1 teaspn cinnamon, 1/4 teaspn nutmeg, 1 tbspn lemon juice, 1/4 cup sour cream and I used 1/2 cup packed, Truvia reduced sugar brown sugar. I also used 1 1/2 cups of apples instead of 1. I always make my loafs like I’m gonna to describe. First stir all of your dry ingredients together in a bowl (save out 1 tbspn of brown sugar). Then put all of your wet ingredients in a larger bowl (minus the lemon juice). Add 1 tbspn of the brown sugar and 1 tbspn of lemon juice to your shredded apples and set aside. With a mixer, mix your wet ingredients until fluffy. Add in your apple mixture WITH the juices, then add in your flour mixture and mix with your mixture just until all blended together. By added the above ingredients and prepping your apples first, you will get a very moist and delicious loaf! The sour cream and the juice that forms in the apples will help a lot with moisture! Happy Baking everyone!
I read the reviews before I made this, and a lot of people said it was dry. I used 2 cups apples, brown sugar instead of white, added cinnamon, and 1/2 cup milk. Turned out good!! Oh and also only cooked for 45 min on middle rack.
Had a lot of leftover apples cut in the fridge. Added milk and lots of raisins- looks and tastes great.
used 2 cups of granny smith apples, subbed butter for 1/2 c veggie oil and sugar for 1 c maple syrup and added some cinnamon to taste!
I loved making this and it is as tasty as it looks!!
I made this for my family and they love it. I added a tsp cinnamon and an extra apple. I look forward to making this again.
After reviewing others I made some changes by also adding 2 cups of apples with a 1/2 cup each of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves other than that followed the rest and came out delicious
This is a delicious recipe. It was a bit on the dry side but besides that it was the best bread I made so far.
This bread came out perfect and so full of flavor. I added 1 tsp. cinnamon and 1/2 tsp. nutmeg. I shredded 3 apples in my food processor. The batter was thick so I added about 1/4c of sour cream. It came out amazing! I will definitely make this again.
Even adding milk and oil as others suggested, it was still a little dry.
Simple quick and easy.
I used 3 cups of defrosted apples with the juice they made, for this recipe, 1 cup of walnuts and 1 tsp of cinnamon, plus a pinch of ground cloves.
I made this Apple Loaf and it was perfect. Following suggestions of previous reviewers I added 1 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tsp ground cloves. Other changes: I used two large apples peeled and cut into small pieces and I used oil instead of butter (due to allergy). Will definitely add to my recipe collection.
The loaf is very dry, I called it sawdust loaf.
I read the other reviews before I made this recipe. I decided to use four apples. I added half a teaspoon of nutmeg and one teaspoon of cinnamon and I substituted half a cup of oil for the half cup of butter. I also used brown sugar in place of the white sugar. The mixture seemed slightly dry at the end so I added a splash of milk as well. It turned out very good and I will be making it again. 🙂
Like others suggested, I doubled the apples and added cinnamon and cloves. I also substituted light olive oil for half the butter to lighten the saturated fat content. We all enjoyed it and I’ll make it again with the modifications.
I made it for the first time with suggested changes – oil instead of butter, 2 c shredded apple instead of 1 c, added 1tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tsp cloves. The cloves were a bit strong, next time I’ll cut back to 1/4 tsp. Loaf was moist and tasty, cooked in 60 mins. I’ll definitely make this one again.
Family & coworkers loved it. Added the spices & doubled the apples as suggested. Perfect! Want to try with applesauce.
Very good recipe. I use this recipe as a base for all of my loaves and just change the primary ingredient. I’ve used zucchini, pumpkin, carrot, bananas, pears, strawberries, and blueberries in place of the apples in the past and it always turns out great. You’ve just got to adjust the spices based on the new ingredient. I also tend to recommend doubling the amount of fruit when making this recipe. Another thing I sometimes do is to take chunks of apple or pear (when using those in the recipe) along with the shredded. It makes a nice texture change in the mouth feel of the loaf as you eat it, and gives you little pockets of sweetness in the loaf as well.
After reading the reviews, I modified the recipe by adding 2 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp ground cloves. I used gala apples because they’re very juicy. The result was delicious.
Made this earlier today. I made a few adjustments though; replacing the butter w/applesauce, doubling the amount of apples,and adding a pinch of nutmeg and a tsp of cinnamon to the recipe. The family enjoyed it . Next time I might add raisins n nuts.For those who have tried this recipe but it stuck to your pan, try lightly flouring your pan after greasing it.. guaranteed your loaf will not stick!
