Chopped Apple Bread

Apples. I can’t get enough of them lately. Everything we have been eating has had apples in it. Salad, bread, desserts, you name it!

I love summer, and I am not ready for it to be completely gone yet, but am loooving apple season right now. We have a kind church member who has given us bunches of apples off their apple trees. (I practically don’t have to go to the grocery store anymore due to theirs and others’ generosity.) So I’ve been making everything apple imaginable.

I think this chopped apple bread is my favorite of anything “apple” that I’ve made lately. It’s sweet from the apples, easy, and mostly healthy so I don’t have to feel bad about eating it.

And I don’t feel bad giving it to my 10 month old daughter when she sits and whines and begs for some.

I don’t know what else to say about this bread except that it is easy, super delicious, and only dirties one mixing bowl (+ the pan you bake it in). I don’t think you can go wrong with this bread. It would be great for whipping up quickly and bringing to a fall gathering, a sick friend or neighbor, or just for breakfast!

**As a side note: make sure you use sweet apples, I think it ads a lot to the flavor of the bread.**

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup white whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten
