Here’s a quick and easy Cake Mix Apple Bread recipe — sweet, moist, and loaded with tender apple pieces 🍎🍞
Cake Mix Apple Bread
Ingredients (Makes 1 loaf)
- 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow or spice cake mix
- 2–3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans, optional)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Prep Oven
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
- Mix Ingredients
- In a large bowl, beat eggs, oil, and cake mix until smooth.
- Fold in diced apples, cinnamon, and nuts if using.
- Optional Topping
- Mix brown sugar with a pinch of cinnamon and sprinkle on top for a sweet, slightly crunchy crust.
- Bake
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool & Serve
- Let cool 10–15 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Slice and serve plain, with butter, or a drizzle of glaze if desired.
Tips & Variations
- Apples: Use Granny Smith for tartness or Honeycrisp for sweetness.
- Spices: Add nutmeg, allspice, or ginger for extra warmth.
- Mini Loaves: Divide into muffin tins or mini loaf pans; reduce bake time to 20–25 minutes.
- Moisture Boost: Stir 1/4 cup yogurt or sour cream into the batter.
If you want, I can give a glazed version that turns this apple bread into a sweet dessert loaf, similar to coffee cake.
