Apple Pie Bread is an easy to make quick bread with apple pie filling mixed into the brown sugar batter. Serve warm with a side of vanilla ice cream!
Fall is just around the corner and fall reminds me of apples, pumpkins, comforting soups, the leaves falling to the ground and wonderful brisk fall weather days. I do want summer weather to last a little while longer but I don’t mind when the fall weather appears.
Apple Pie Bread whips up in a jiffy and uses apple pie filling and apple pie spice to bring home all the flavors of apple pie. The apple pie filling makes this quick bread extra moist. I love the addition of the apple pie spice, the nutmeg in the spice really stands out in this recipe.
I dusted the warm bread with powder sugar, it makes it look extra special. Apple Pie Bread is best served warm but I ate a piece this morning that wasn’t warm and it was still delicious. If serving this to guests, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream along side each slice.
Enjoy!

Spread the dough into the bread pan.
You can see the chunks of apples.
Bake until golden brown.
It might sink a little in the middle, that is normal.
