This vegan apple bread tastes incredibly moist, fruity, spicy, nutty and so delicious. It is the ideal treat for the fall and winter season. You can refine it with any spices, dried fruits and nuts you like. You can find a detailed apple bread recipe with the exact quantities and step-by-step instructions below.
With fresh apples, spices, dried fruits and nuts
The apple bread is a delicious combination of fresh apples, dried fruits, nuts and spices. It is perfect for dessert with a cup of tea, for breakfast or as a snack between meals on rainy fall days and cold winter days, alongside the Buchty with apple-cinnamon filling and the apple bundt cake with cinnamon.
Grated apples make this sweet pastry taste particularly moist and fresh. Dried apricots and prunes provide even more fruitiness. Walnuts give the apple bread a crunchy note. Cinnamon, cloves, star anise, nutmeg and vanilla make it spicy and very aromatic.
Choose ingredients for apple bread recipe
Here I go into detail about the individual ingredients for the apple bread recipe. As always, you can find the exact quantities in the recipe box at the end of the post.
Apples
It’s best to use sweet tart apples for the recipe, just like for the Tsvetaeva apple pie, the easy apple muffins and the rice quark casserole. They complement the sweet dough perfectly. You don’t need to peel the apples.
Dried fruits
Any dried fruits are suitable for the apple bread recipe, just like for the honey kovrizhka recipe. I used dried apricots and prunes. Dried cranberries, raisins and figs are also perfect.
Nuts
I made the apple bread with coarsely chopped walnuts. Alternatively, hazelnuts and almonds work well. You can also use a mixture of different nuts, just like for the sugar free chocolate candy bars.
Sugar
You can adjust the amount of sugar to your taste. Among other things, it depends on how sweet the dried fruits you use are.
Alcohol
I added a little rum to the dough for flavoring, similar to the crumb cookies with caramel filling. A liqueur is also suitable for this. You can also simply leave out the alcohol.
Cocoa powder
Cocoa powder gives the apple bread a slightly chocolaty taste. Use unsweetened baking cocoa, just like for the fluffy chocolate pound cake and the chocolate pryaniki.
Spices
I have spiced my apple bread with cinnamon, cloves, star anise, nutmeg and vanilla. You can use any winter spices you like instead. A ready-made gingerbread spice is also ideal for this, just like for the Dominosteine and the gingerbread cookies.
Which baking tin?
I baked the apple bread in a loaf tin. The quantities of ingredients in the recipe are sufficient for a baking tin measuring approx. 30 cm x 13 cm. Instead, you can use a round springform tin with a diameter of about 24 cm. A round bread baking tin is also suitable.
