I never tire of apple-inspired creations, and this spiced apple pie bread is perfect for anytime....snack, dessert or a lunchbox treat. It delivers fresh apple taste in the form of a moist bread that smells like apple pie and is perfectly delicious when spread with butter and served with a cup of tea or a glass of milk. This is my mother's recipe and she makes it often on Sunday mornings as a batch of muffins, so anyone who happens to stop by on Sundays is always rewarded with this lovely treat fresh from the oven. There is nothing better than love from the oven!
The recipe for this is so adaptable...it can be made as muffins, a loaf or 2 mini-loaves....whatever you need!
And you can easily add more apples or nuts, or leave the nuts out if you prefer. Anything goes!
Spiced Apple Pie Bread
{makes 12 muffins, 1 loaf or 2 mini-loaves}
2 1/4 cups flour
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups to 2 cups diced apples
1/2 cup-1 cup chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon apple pie spice or 1 tablespoon cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon cloves
Topping:
2 Tbs. melted butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
Directions: Preheat oven to 375.
1. In bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and spice. Set aside.
2. In small bowl, mix together buttermilk, egg, melted butter and vanilla.
3. Make a 'well' in dry ingredients and add buttermilk mixture. Stir gently until just combined, then add diced apples and walnuts and just stir until combined. Batter will still be lumpy.
4. Pour batter into paper-lined muffins tin or loaf pan.
5. Bake about 18-20 minutes for muffins and mini-loaves, 30-35 minutes for large loaf, or until inserted toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

Serve and enjoy!
