I love your fall recipes and this bread looks divine!
This sounds amazing, and I can smell it from here. ?
Would I be using the 8″ or 9″ bread pan?
9 inch
I made this two days ago and my granddaughter has already requested a second loaf! It is very tasting and satisfying.
Got one in the oven now….can’t wait to try it
Loved it! Thank you.
Mine didn’t turn out! I’m sure I did something wrong. Do you think I blended the oats too fine? Everything I have made from your website always turns out!
If you bended the oats too fine, the center will probably be a little gummy.
Jill, this apple spice loaf was delicious, moist, and subtly sweet with a lovely amount of spices…we love it! I wanted to use Cripps Pink apples because those are my favorite and a perfect balance of sweet and tart (to me, anyway!), but I couldn’t find them so I used Pink Lady Apples. The loaf had a nice crumb to it and did not get gummy. I was careful not to over grind the oats. I had quick oats on hand so I only ground them for 7 seconds in my Ninja Foodie. Watching your accompanying video is always so helpful to learn little things like that. I followed the recipe exactly except for adding ¼ tsp salt just because my family prefers that touch of salt in baked goods…but it was such a small amount for a whole loaf. Thank you for this healthy fall treat 🙂 !
