This spiced apple bread smells and tastes amazing. You can enjoy this bread day or night. Plus, this makes for a great addition to a brunch party too. This four-ingredient recipe is simple, and one that you will go to over and over again. Not only does this bread taste delicious, but when you bake this, your home smells so good. This post is all about spiced apple bread.
Normally, I make breakfast bars on Sundays for the week ahead. However, I do like to switch it up, and just enjoy a delicious piece of bread in the morning. I am not talking about a slice of whole wheat bread, either. I am talking about sweet bread that just tastes like a morning dessert.
With that in mind, I love this 4 ingredient bread recipe. It is super simple to make, and it tastes delicious. For all of those pie filling lovers out there, this bread calls for a can of apple pie filling. How can you go wrong when you use pie filling in any recipe?
Now, this isn’t the type of bread that takes all day to make, either. From start to finish, you can make this bread in a little over an hour. My grandfather would never believe that this recipe is so simple. He loved baking bread, and you could never say he was on a low-carb diet.
I remember sitting and watching him make bread all the time. Then one year, he purchased an actual bread machine. The man never ate as much bread as he made. He gifted the bread to friends and family. He loved just listening to the machine working its magic. It was his go-to hobby for so long. So in a way, you could say that every time I make this bread, I think of my granddaddy.

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
To start this recipe, preheat the oven to 350°.

Then, add a spice cake mix to the mixing bowl. For this recipe, I used the Betty Crocker Spice Cake Mix. It is delicious, and it has pudding in the mix too.

Step 4: Add 3 Eggs
Then, add in three eggs to the bowl.

Step 5: Add the Apples
Next, add in an entire can of apple pie filling.
If you want to have smaller slices of apples throughout the bread, you could cut the apples up in the pie filling, but I prefer to leave them as is. The bread still bakes perfectly, but I understand if you just want smaller pieces.
Step 6: Mix
Then, using a wooden spoon, mix all the ingredients together.

Step 7: Spray Bread Pans
Then, spray two bread pans. Be sure to really grease these pans, so that bread easily comes out without any problems.
Step 8: Pour Evenly
Then, pour the batter into the bread pans evenly. You can just take a butter knife or spatula and smooth over the batter to make sure that your loaves look beautiful.
This apple bread is so easy to make that you could make it as a small gift for a friend or a party host. Who doesn’t like to get a loaf of homemade bread?
Our good friend Carol always made bread for our family. The bread was outstanding, and it was such a wonderful gift. It would be gone as soon as it entered our house. Maybe she will read this, and make a few loaves. 🙂
Step 9: Bake for 45-50 minutes
You can bake this bread for about forty-five to fifty minutes. Just be sure to stay in the kitchen for around forty-two minutes or so. I just do the toothpick test to be sure that the bread is ready to pull out of the oven.
Step 10: Cooling Rack
After about ten minutes, take the bread out of the pans, and place the loaves onto a cooling rack. If you wait longer than that, your bread may get too moist and fall apart.
To take the bread out of the pans, use a hot mitt on one hand. Using the hand with the hot mitt, grasp the pan, and then flip it over with your other hand, cradling the bread so that you can easily transfer it onto the cooling rack.
The cooling rack below is perfect and less than ten dollars. I found it at Target. There are three racks, which makes it great for cookie baking too.
