How to Make Apple Pie Bread
1. Prepare the Apple Base
Open your can of apple pie filling and mash it lightly with a fork or potato masher. You want small chunks—not puréed—so the bread stays moist but textured.
2. Mix the Batter
In a large bowl, combine:
-
The mashed apple filling
-
Yellow cake mix
-
Beaten eggs
-
Self-rising flour
-
Cinnamon
Stir until everything is fully incorporated. The batter will be thick and fragrant.
3. Pour Into Loaf Pans
Grease two loaf pans (or one large one).
Pour in the batter evenly, smoothing the top with a spatula.
For extra charm, sprinkle a mixture of cinnamon and sugar over the top—it creates a sweet, crackly crust.
4. Bake to Perfection
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
The bread will rise beautifully and form a golden, slightly crunchy top that smells like a fall morning.
5. Cool and Slice
Let the bread cool for at least 10–15 minutes before slicing. This helps it firm up and keeps each slice intact and tender.
Serving Ideas
Apple Pie Bread is delicious on its own, but try these for an extra treat:
-
Spread with warm butter
-
Drizzle with caramel sauce
-
Serve with vanilla ice cream
-
Toast a slice and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar
-
Pair with hot coffee, tea, or cider
It’s a comfort-food dream no matter how you enjoy it.
