Recipe Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Ingredients<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n

Flour<\/strong>: The foundation of a good apple butter quick bread is all-purpose flour, but I\u2019ve baked breads with whole wheat flour too, so I know that will be equally good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cinnamon and nutmeg: <\/strong>are warm spices that complement the apple butter beautifully, adding a cozy, aromatic flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugar:<\/strong> helps sweeten the bread. I used granulated white sugar. You can use brown sugar, cane, or even coconut sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oil:<\/strong> keeps the bread moist and tender. I used vegetable oil, but sunflower, coconut, or canola oil work too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yogurt:<\/strong> adds moisture and a slight tanginess to the bread. If you don\u2019t have Greek yogurt, use homemade that\u2019s been drained well so it\u2019s thick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple butter:<\/strong> is the star of the recipe. Baking with homemade apple butter<\/a> is best, but store-bought will do in a pinch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optional add-ins<\/strong>: finely chopped walnuts add a delightful crunch and a nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the apple butter and spices. You can leave them out or use pecans, raisins, or chopped apples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cinnamon sugar:<\/strong> cinnamon sugar topping is completely optional. But it does add an irresistible crunch to the crust. You can make it by simply combining sugar and cinnamon powder in a small bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How To Make<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Preheat your oven to 180 C \/ 350 F. Grease a loaf pan well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon powder, and nutmeg powder in a large bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3:<\/strong> Add the sugar and mix well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4:<\/strong> Whisk the oil, yogurt, and apple butter in a separate bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5:<\/strong> Pour over the dry ingredients and mix well until no white streaks of flour are visible. The batter will be thick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 6:<\/strong> Fold in the chopped walnuts and transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 7:<\/strong> Combine cinnamon powder and sugar in a small bowl and sprinkle on top of the cake batter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Step 8:<\/strong> Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 9: <\/strong>Let the cake cool in the tin for 10-15 minutes, before turning it out on a cooling rack to cool completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 10:<\/strong> Slice the completely cooled bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final step:<\/strong> Savor and serve!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How To Store<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Store the apple butter loaf cake in an airtight container, and it will stay fresh at room temperature for 2\u20133 days. If your kitchen is very warm, keep the wrapped loaf in the fridge, and it will last for 5\u20136 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple butter bread recipes are freezer-friendly. Double-wrap the loaf in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil or a Ziplock bag, and it will stay good for up to 2 months. When you're ready to eat it, thaw the bread in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for a few hours.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

How To Serve?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is the important<\/strong> bit: let the easy apple butter bread cool completely<\/strong> before you slice it. I\u2019d suggest making it ahead and letting it rest overnight. The longer the bread sits, the more flavorful it gets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Plain and fresh:<\/strong> Slice the bread and enjoy it as is for breakfast or an afternoon snack.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Toasted with butter<\/strong>: Lightly toast a slice and smear more regular butter on top.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. With a spread:<\/strong> Try it with a dollop of vegan cashew ricotta<\/a>, homemade cream cheese<\/a>, stovetop apple butter<\/a>, or cinnamon honey butter<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
