Easy Applesauce Bread Recipe

Since I don't like the texture of apples in desserts, I made this cake with applesauce instead. My applesauce bread is super soft, moist, flavorful, and easy to make.

Applesauce Bread Recipe

I LOVE this cinnamon applesauce bread recipe, it has a soft, fluffy texture and a sweet taste. It is perfect for breakfast or as a snack with a cup of milk or tea.

Really, what makes this sweet loaf delicious is, firstly, the applesauce, which reminds me of a fresh harvest of apples in every bite. The second ingredient that brings the cake warmth and flavor is ground cinnamon.

Personally, I prefer making this recipe with applesauce instead of real apple chunks. But you may add both in the batter if you will consume this sweet bread in 2-3 days maximum.

You'll Need

• Caster sugar: I also call it baking sugar or superfine sugar. You can also use light or dark brown sugar.
• All-purpose flour: You may use whole wheat flour instead of plain flour. However, the apple cake loaf may have a slightly different texture.
• Unsweetened Applesauce: Pick up your favourite store-bought applesauce brand or use a homemade applesauce.
• Butter: I prefer unsalted butter. It can be replaced with vegetable oil, avocado oil, light olive oil or melted coconut oil.
• Baking powder & Baking soda: Rising agents which will make the bread fluffy.
• Ground cinnamon: If you can’t find a container version, get some cinnamon sticks and grind it yourself.
• Eggs: I used 2 large eggs.

How To Make Applesauce Bread?

Preheat your oven to 170 C / 325 F, and line a 2lb loaf tin with parchment paper. Once that is ready to go, start preparing the batter.

One: Beat the eggs with sugar in a large mixing bowl with the electric mixer until the mixture is pale yellow.

Two: Mix in the applesauce and melted butter until it is well combined in the same bowl.

Three: Stir in the flour, and baking powder, followed by the cinnamon and baking soda, until all the ingredients are well combined.

Four: The batter should be of fluffy consistency as opposed to too thick or too fluid/runny.

Five: Transfer this well-whipped batter to the prepared loaf pan and bake in the oven for 45-50 minutes until the top of the applesauce loaf is golden brown.

Six: Allow the loaf to cool completely before cutting. That’s it; this easy cake is ready to be devoured.

Expert Tips!

• If you want to have an easier time cleaning up, you can use a disposable aluminium loaf pan, which is easy to transport also once the cake is ready.
• If you can, place the loaf cake in the centre of the oven. We’d like it to be cooked fast and evenly as well.
• For the best texture, I like to use smooth applesauce.
• I keep this cake at room temperature for a good 2 days.
