Boy, are you in for a treat today! The #SundaySupper team has over 60 apple recipes for you. Apple in a cookie? We got it. Apple in a soup or salad? We have that too. If its apple and pork or apple quesadilla – that’s right, they’re all here. And of course the round up wouldn’t be complete without a pie, right?
I’m baking a simple apple pie bread for the occasion. There are just so many things I like about this recipe. For one, it’s a one bowl recipe. All you have to do is keep the ingredients ready and keep dumping them into a bowl. No need to mix the flour and baking powder separately or anything. Easy, right? The other thing I love is that the apples are grated so you can taste them in almost every single bite.
I did make a few changes to the original recipe from Better Homes and Gardens. The recipe did not call for any spices to be added, I added a teaspoon of my homemade apple pie spice mix in the bread and topping. For the streusel topping I added dark brown sugar that caramelized as the bread baked and formed a nice, slightly crunchy, caramel-y streusel layer. I omitted the nuts from the streusel and added tiny currants to the topping as well as the bread. And the final addition was my drizzle – an attempt to substitute the lattice topping with a cream cheese drizzle. A simple concoction of cream cheese, sugar and milk.
Best of both worlds, apple pie and bread, all in one. The bread is super soft, moist and melts in your mouth. It is perfect for Christmas, its perfect for fall. And then you have the taste of apple pie in bread – which makes it totally legal to eat pie for breakfast.
- ½ cup butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- ¼ cup buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon apple pie spice mix
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 cups shredded, peeled apple (about 4 medium)
- 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- ½ cup raisins ( I used currants)
- ¼ cup packed dark brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ⅓ cup chopped walnuts or pecans OR 2-3 tablespoons raisins (optional. I used small currants)
- ¼ cup cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1-2 teaspoons milk
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan; set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and flour. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in walnuts or pecans ( if using)
- In a large bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Beat in sugar until combined.
- Add buttermilk and baking powder; beat until combined.
- Add eggs and vanilla; beat until combined.
- Add flour, apple pie spice mix and salt; beat until combined.
- Stir in apple, nuts(if using), and raisins ( or currants). Spoon batter into prepared pan; spread evenly.
- Sprinkle streusel topping over batter and bake for 60 to 65 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan. Let it cool for further 20 minutes and in the meantime, make the cream cheese glaze.
- Beat the cream cheese and sugar until well blended. Add in the milk one teaspoon at a time and beat until you get spreadable consistency.

It’s apple season! We just purchased our first locally grown apples. Golden Delicious, which actually have nothing to do with regular Delicious (good thing, because I don’t like the regular Delicious; but the Goldens are wonderful). Apple Pie Bread sounds wonderful! Definitely something to try – thanks for this.
I like the idea of the streusel topping on the bread!!! I can just imagine the texture plus the apple infused flavour! Don’t get me started on the cream cheese drizzle!!! SO GOOD!! Nicely done!
So if this bread tastes even half as good as it looks I am in love. I want a warm slice right now to go with my mug of tea. Thanks for sharing, I will definitely be giving it a try soon.
I want a slice of this right now!
I really like the idea of apple pie flavors in bread. Wonder if I can make a diabetic-friendly version of this?
The cream cheese drizzle really tempting! Thanks so much for sharing such a wonderful and easy to make recipe!
Streusel topping and a cream cheese glaze…oh yea! Nice that it is a one bowl recipe too. The currents got me too. I do not see many recipes for dried currants and I just love those little tasty bits.
I love apple pie bread. In fact it’s on my list to make this month. There’s a store here in town that makes it like none I’ve ever had before and I’m hoping to duplicate it. Yours sounds delicious and looks beautiful.
OOh I want a piece of that right now. love the idea of adding currants to it. Your pics are fabulous as always !!
Oh my gosh your bread looks amazing!!! I love the topping and the raisins!! What a gorgeous bread!!
Yum! I love how everything mixes together in one bowl! I’ll definitely be giving this a try this fall!:-)
oh absolute yum!!! and I like that you’ve added spices.. apples and spices are just made for each other… and this recipe is a one bowl dish.. big big plus point in my book!! the raisins, the streusel… this is right for breakfast on a sunday morning..especially when you guests over!!! love the pics!!
I adore baking in one bowl, too! That way you have time to bake more things! :) This apple bread looks absolutely scrumptious! Enjoy your Sunday!!!
I make a lot of quick breads because they’re so easy to serve up for breakfast and as after-school snacks. I love the idea of this so much, all the way to the lattice-type icing on top. I was so surprised that BHG didn’t have any spice in their version. Your addition is perfect. I can’t wait to make this.
I’m drooling just thinking about this bread!!! I love the addition of the raisins and the cream cheese drizzle- yum!
What a fabulous cake! It brings together so many different things, but all the ingredients sound like they will work so well together. So inspired!
This is the best of both worlds, Anuradha … Wish I had some with my coffee, right now …. Great Job :-)

This definitely screams fall! Brown sugar is a great addition to any streusel and then, no apple cake is complete without a drizzle. Love the little currants, they add so much sweetness. Wonderful recipe as usual Anu! Have a great sunday!

I love one bowl recipes! This bread looks amazing, and that streusel topping- yum!

Apple pie, apple cake, apple strudel…I love them all. Your apple bread looks outstanding…and somehow, I wouldn’t feel as guilty eating a huge slice of this as the others…it looks delish!
Really fantastic recipe! Quick breads are a favorite and I would have never thought to shred the apples.
I can see enjoying a slice or two of this bread every day for a week! Or two. Or three…Looks delicious, and I love the added currants.
This looks really good! Thanks for sharing!!
This is definitely a match made in heaven – apple pie and bread, together? Yes please! Your loaf looks absolutely gorgeous: perfectly crusty on the outside and moist on the inside. The streusel topping and cream cheese drizzle just take it over the top.
Loving all the apple creations!! This bread looks incredible and moist!! YUMMY!
I would eat the whole loaf all by my lonesome. Seriously. Totally would.
That looks amazing and your pictures are great!!
Yum this looks like a lovely bread, and I love that you all did the apple theme. The streusel topping with the glaze looks perfect, pinned this recipe :)
Oh what a beautiful bread! Grating the apples was a genius idea….I love tasting apples in every bite! How surprising that BHG did not include spices initially! I love all of your touches here, right down to your ‘lattice’ drizzle! Scrumptious!!! : )
Oh what a beautiful bread! I love that you grated the apples to ensure that we have some in every bite! Hard to believe that BHG did not initially include spices! So I’m glad that you decided to add your own touches. I love them all…even down to the ‘lattice’ drizzle! Just scrumptious! : )
Look at that bread! It looks incredible, that streusel is over the top!
For a girl who loves apples…this looks heavenly. Thank you so much for sharing…what a delicious way to end my weekend. I hope you have a beautiful Monday, my friend!
LOVE LOVE LOVE your twist on the classic apple pie. Want!!!
your bread is stunning! it sounds incredible! and i love that the apples are shredded so that you get that apple taste in each bite, such a great idea!
Wow you do a lot of interesting events! Is there a home page for this one to read about it?
Ooops I found the link, never mind. Found some good recipes and pinned yours. I love apples!
That is one of the best looking sweet breads I have ever seen! I agree with @Laura Hunter!
