  • Stir in the applesauce until well combined.
  1. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
  • Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Fold in the diced apples and chopped nuts (if using).
  1. Bake the Bread:
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
  • Optional: Sprinkle some extra diced apples and chopped nuts on top for garnish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  1. Cool and Serve:
  • Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes.
  • Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
  • Slice and serve the apple pie bread plain, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
