Easy to Make - Preparing this healthy apple bread recipe requires only a handful of simple ingredients and 50 minutes of bake time.
Seasonal Freshness: Fall is the peak season for apples, making it the perfect time to bake with crisp, fresh apples that add natural sweetness and flavor to every slice of bread.
Warm Comfort: The cozy spices like cinnamon and nutmeg in Amish Apple Bread fill your kitchen with a warm, comforting aroma, creating that classic fall feeling that’s perfect for chilly days.
Simple, Wholesome Ingredients: This recipe is made from scratch with simple, wholesome ingredients, letting you enjoy a deliciously moist, preservative-free treat that’s perfect for breakfast, a snack, or dessert.
Ingredients needed and substitutions:
Apples - For homemade apple bread, you’ll want apples that hold their shape well and provide a balanced flavor. Here are my top 3 favorite varieties:
- Granny Smith – These are perfect for baking because their tartness balances the sweetness of the bread, and they hold their texture well, giving a nice bite.
- Honeycrisp – Known for their juicy, crisp texture and sweet-tart flavor, Honeycrisps add natural sweetness and a slight crunch, which is ideal for apple bread.
- Fuji – With a sweeter profile and firm texture, Fuji apples add moisture without becoming mushy, making them an excellent choice for a flavorful, tender bread.
Honey - 100% Percent organic honey was used as a natural sweetener for this simple Amish bread recipe. You can swap with maple syrup.
Unsweetened Applesauce - This can be swapped with Greek yogurt for extra protein.
How to Make Homemade Amish Apple Bread
1: Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper.
2: Prepare Apple Mixture: Peel and chop your apples into small chunks. Add the apple chunks into a small food processor and pulse a couple of times so you get very small apple pieces.
3: In a small bowl, mix together the chopped apples, cinnamon, and coconut sugar. Set aside.
4: Make the batter - In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients - flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
5: In a separate bowl mix the wet ingredients - honey, applesauce, and eggs together until a smooth batter forms.
6: Now mix the wet and dry ingredients together.
- Assemble the Bread:
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Layer half of the apple mixture on top.
- Pour the remaining batter over the apples and then top with the remaining apple mixture.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Prepare the Glaze: While the bread is baking, whisk together the powdered sugar substitute, almond milk, and vanilla extract to create a glaze.
- Glaze and Serve: Let the bread cool for about 10 minutes, then drizzle the glaze on top. Slice and enjoy!

Expert Tips
- Choose the Right Apples: Use a blend of tart and sweet apples for the best flavor and texture. Granny Smithapples add a tart bite, while Honeycrisp or Fuji apples provide sweetness and moisture. This combination keeps the bread balanced and flavorful.
- Dice Apples Uniformly: Chop apples into small, even pieces to ensure they cook through evenly in the batter, preventing mushy spots and ensuring every bite has apple in it.
- Use Greek Yogurt or Applesauce: Using Greek yogurt or unsweetened applesauce is great for added moisture and a healthier twist without sacrificing flavor.
- Add a Touch of Vanilla and Cinnamon: These spices complement the apples beautifully and add warmth. Freshly grated nutmeg can also enhance the fall flavor.
- Don’t Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can lead to dense, chewy bread. Gently fold in the dry ingredients until just combined to keep the bread light and fluffy.
- Layer with a Cinnamon-Sugar Mixture: Sprinkle a mixture of cinnamon and coconut or brown sugar between layers of batter and apples for a swirl effect and a rich, caramelized flavor.
- Top with a Streusel Crumble: For added texture, sprinkle a simple streusel topping (butter, flour, and sugar) over the batter before baking. This creates a deliciously crispy crust that enhances the bread’s flavor.
- Use Parchment Paper: Line your loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
- Cool Completely Before Slicing: Let the bread cool fully in the pan to prevent crumbling. This ensures that the apples and batter have fully set, giving you neat, clean slices.
- Storing and Freezing: Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. To freeze, wrap individual slices in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer-safe bag. When ready to enjoy, thaw a slice at room temperature or reheat it in the microwave for 15-20 seconds for a warm treat.
