Expert tips for success
- Don't forget to add the cinnamon-sugar mixture to the top, that's what forms the crispy crust.
- Never overmix the apple cinnamon bread batter. Just mix to combine the ingredients at every step.
- You can add extra apples on top as garnish depending on your preference. However, if you plan on storing leftovers for a few days, it may be better to leave them off as the tops get moist over time.
FAQs on apples
What Type Of Apples Should I Use?
You can actually use any apples that you have on hand, and it will turn out pretty amazing. I don't always use the same type of apple each time, because they all have great qualities that enhance the flavor. Some of my favorites to use in this recipe are: Fuji, Honeycrisp, and Gala.
Can I Use Shredded Apples Instead Of Chopped?
Yes, if you prefer the texture of shredded apples, you can substitute them for chopped. The flavor is going to remain the same, but the texture will be much more smooth and less chunky.
Storage
It will last 2 days after you bake it. Keep it in an airtight container to keep it moist and fresh.
Can I Freeze it?
Yes. Makesure it's wrapped up tightly, and you store it in a freezer bag or another airtight container. Thaw on the counter before serving.

Hi Sabine
Thank you very much for the recipe! I have just finished my afternoon tea with this cake and it came out delicious!
One slight challenge i have experienced, was that the edges of the bread, those that were inside the pan, came out a bit too brown and on the verge of having burned bitter flavour. How can I avoid it next time? It is the temperature?Thank you!

Hi Ekaterina, I have never experienced this problem. I think it could be the pan or the temperature was too hot. I use a non-stick loaf pan as shown in the pictures and bake as stated in the recipe. Hope that helps!
