This Apple Spice Bread is an easy-to-make quick bread that can be put together in less than half an hour! It’s a delightful cross between moist apple bread and decadent spice cake!
So, let’s talk about why this Apple Spice Bread is my new favorite quick bread:
- Baking this apple quick bread doesn’t require any special equipment…you can leave your mixer in the cupboard!
- It is less than 30 minutes from when you decide to make this Spiced Apple Bread until you pop it in the oven.
- While baking your spiced apple bread, your house will smell heavenly, redolent with cinnamon, apples, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
I just wanted to let you know that I made your Apple Spice Bread again
jackie
today. It has become my go to quick bread! I love a good Banana Bread and a
good Date Loaf but this ASBread is just so tasty and so easy to make. A
beautiful, spicy, well packed loaf.
Thank you for sharing the recipe.
- By calling it a ‘bread’ you can justify eating a deliciously moist, almost cake, for breakfast!
- This Apple Quickbread uses up apples that are getting past their prime.
- Bake this Fall Spice Bread in mini-loaves for gifting!

So, are you sold yet? If not, I challenge you to bake it, sit down with your cup of tea or coffee and a slice of this apple spice bread and not say, “Dang, that is some good bread!”
If you can, use freshly grated nutmeg in your apple spice bread.
I was very late to board the ‘freshly grated nutmeg’ train, but now I am a frequent traveler on that train. Truly, you just can’t beat the woody and warm taste of freshly grated nutmeg.
This nutmeg grater belonged to my grandma, who left us 40 years ago. She was a prolific and proficient baker, and I feel her alongside me in the kitchen when I use her nutmeg grater.

Calories 316 kcal
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoons ground nutmeg freshly ground if possible!
- 1/4 teaspoons ground cloves

- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar

- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce

- 1 Tablespoon vanilla
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts optional
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F for a 9" by 5" loaf or 325°F for mini-loaves
Grease loaf pans. (I really like Bak-Klene which you can purchase at Williams-Sonoma.)
Whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger in a large bowl.
In a smaller bowl or large measuring cup, combine oil, eggs, both sugars, applesauce, vanilla, and milk or milk substitute.
Pour wet ingredients over the dry ingredients, along with the diced apples. Gently mix together
Pour the batter into your prepared pan(s). Bake 9" by 5" loaf pan for 55-60 minutes (or mini-loaf pans for 35-40 minutes) or until a cake tester comes out clean.
Cool completely on a wire rack before removing from pans.
Will keep in the fridge for 7-10 days, assuming it doesn't get gobbled up beforehand!
