Annie's Apple Bread

This simple apple bread delivers the cozy flavors of autumn in every slice with minimal fuss and maximum apple goodness.

Butter and sugar cream together until fluffy, then eggs and a splash of lemon juice add richness and brightness before flour folds in to create a sturdy batter.

Fresh chopped apples and crunchy walnuts stir throughout, releasing moisture as they bake to keep the bread tender while adding pockets of sweet fruit and nutty crunch in every bite.

Pro Tips

• Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith for the best texture and flavor contrast
• Chop apples into uniform pieces so they distribute evenly throughout the loaf
• Don’t overmix the batter once you add the flour or the bread will be tough
• Test for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs
• This bread freezes beautifully wrapped tight for up to 3 months
