Directions

  1. 1

    Unplug the bread machine and remove the bread pan.

  2. 2

    Lightly beat the eggs.

  3. 3

    Add the applesauce, vegetable oil, eggs and then the rest of the ingredients (except the chopped walnuts) into the bread pan.

  4. 4

    Place the bread pan back into the bread machine and then plug in the bread machine.

  5. 5

    Enter the bread machine settings (Quick Bread/Cake, Light Color) and press the start button. FYI - Before making this recipe, please READ the tips section below for more information regarding the sweet quick bread setting used to make this moist apple bread. On your machine, this setting might be called "quick bread", "quick bread/cake", "cake", etc. However, some manufacturers use the "quick bread" setting for rapid sandwich-type breads that use yeast (and not for quick breads such as apple bread or banana bread that use baking powder/soda). Therefore, this setting can be very confusing... but the tips section below will help you to find the right setting to use on your machine. You need to enter the correct setting used by your SPECIFIC bread machine model or the apple bread could be under or overcooked.

  6. 6

    After the first mixing cycle by your bread machine and before the second/final mixing, add the chopped walnuts. FYI - See tips section below & read your bread machine manual to see when & how to add nuts in your specific bread machine.

  7. 7

    When the bread machine has finished baking the quick bread, unplug your bread machine. Remove the bread pan and place the bread pan on a wooden cutting board. Let the bread stay within the bread pan for 10 minutes before you remove it from the bread pan. Use oven mitts when removing the bread pan because it will be very hot!

  8. 8

    After removing the quick bread from the bread pan, place the bread on a cooling rack. Use oven mitts when removing the bread. Let the quick bread cool down for 60+ minutes or it will be more likely to break/crumble when cut into slices.

  9. 9

    Don’t forget to remove the mixing paddle if it is stuck in the bread. Use oven mitts as the mixing paddle could be hot.

About this Recipe

Craving a comforting treat with minimal effort? This Bread Machine Apple Bread with Nuts brings the sweet aroma of homemade baking right to your kitchen, all thanks to your trusty bread machine. It's the perfect way to enjoy a delicious, hearty appetizer without hours of hands-on work.

What makes this apple bread stand out is its clever use of chunky applesauce, which ensures a moist crumb and rich apple flavor without the fuss of dicing fresh apples. The generous addition of chopped walnuts provides a delightful crunch and nutty depth, transforming this from a simple quick bread into a truly satisfying dessert experience.

Prepare for a wonderfully moist and flavorful loaf that combines the sweet notes of apple with the earthy richness of walnuts. Each slice offers a satisfying blend of soft, tender bread and distinct crunchy nut pieces. This easy-going baking project is perfectly suited for those who appreciate the convenience of a bread machine while still achieving an authentic, homemade taste. It's designed to be approachable for any home cook looking for a delicious, hearty treat.

While delicious as is, you can tailor this apple bread to your preference. Consider swapping out walnuts for pecans if you prefer a different nutty flavor, or if you don't have walnuts on hand. For a slightly different spice profile, you could experiment with a small pinch of nutmeg alongside the ground cinnamon to add another layer of warmth.

This delightful bread makes a perfect appetizer or a comforting snack, ideal for serving during brunch or as a sweet ending to a meal. Its hearty nature and balanced sweetness also make it a wonderful dessert, ready to be shared with friends and family alongside a cup of coffee or tea.
