This healthy Apple Pie Bread is so fluffy, moist, and sweet, and it’s topped with a deliciously spiced Oatmeal Streusel! It doesn’t taste refined sugar free, low fat, high protein, or whole grain one bit!
I don’t know why, but whenever I buy apples I always pick way too many. Like, enough so that I’d have to eat three a day before they go bad.
I blame how nicely they are displayed at the grocery store 😉
I made this mistake last week and bought a bag of Granny Smith apples. By day three, I was sick of eating apples and was brainstorming ways to use the rest of the bag.
Baking came to my mind first (obviously), so I thought I’d use a couple in a sweet bread.
Apple Pie Bread came to my mind first. Then I thought, how about a topping too? And that’s when I decided to add some Oatmeal Streusel before baking.
This Apple Pie Bread is the perfect baked good to welcome Fall.
It is delicious, moist, fragrant, and beautiful to look at!
This recipe took a few trials to perfect, but what’s important is that the bread is perfect now.
In my first trial, I didn’t make nearly enough streusel to sprinkle on top. It looked like I accidentally spilled some oats onto the cake before baking. I also chopped the apples far too small, so they were hard to notice and they got lost in the cake.
In my second trial, while I was happy with the flavor and texture of the cake (as well as the larger apple chunks), I was disappointed in the color. It looked a bit bland, even though it was packed with flavor! It looked like a Vanilla Cake, not a spiced and flavorful recipe to welcome in the new season. I wanted there to be more color, so to added a bit of molasses to the recipe.
In my third trial, I was blessed with a perfect loaf of deliciousness.
Everyone will enjoy this Apple Pie Bread — sweet, fluffy, and filled with delicate bites of apple and the perfect blend of spices!
The aroma itself will surely catch some attention too. This bread will not disappoint, it is my new Fall favorite… and it’s healthy too! What’s better than that?? It’s hard to believe that such a sweet, decadent, and unhealthy-tasting slice of this Apple Pie in bread form can have only 160 calories and 5g of fat. And because there are also 3g of fiber and 6g of protein, that slice (or two) will keep you full for hours! 😉
