WHAT KIND OF APPLE IS BEST FOR APPLE BREAD?
The best apples to use for this recipe are ones that are firm and will hold their shape when baked. I love Granny Smith apples because they are tart which balances well with the sweet bread and glaze. You can also use Gala, Fuji and Honeycrisp apples, too. Or, try a mixture of a few different kinds of apples!
SUBSTITUTIONS AND VARIATIONS
I love the flavor combination of walnuts and cinnamon, but you can substitute other nuts and spices depending on what you have on hand!
Instead of cinnamon, try:
- ground nutmeg
- ground cloves
- or a combination of both with cinnamon
Instead of walnuts, try:
- almonds
- hazelnuts
- pecans
- macadamia nuts
- pistachios
