❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

This bread is wonderful with coffee and it comes together pretty quickly. The swirl center really is delicious and it’s great to take to any gathering or give as a gift. If you have followed our site for any amount of time you know we love breads, especially easy ones. You can use any apples in this recipe, we use any red type of apple. We recently remade this and used cosmic apples.

SWAPS

Someone always asks if they can use milk instead of buttermilk. I’m sure you can but it will change the fat content of the recipe. Even if you use a buttermilk substitute, it won’t have the same fat content. I do think it will work just fine with whole milk. If you are not a fan of the raisins, simply leave them out. It won’t hurt the recipe if you do. We love this made with pecans but you can easily use walnuts too, or no nuts at all.

⭐TIP

Always cut quick breads with a serrated knife and cook on the middle oven shelf for best results. This is also good warm with a cup of coffee. You don’t have to add the glaze if you don’t want too.

STORING, REHEATING & SERVING SIZE

We wrap this in aluminum foil or put it in a bread container. We heat a slice in the microwave if we want it warm. It makes one loaf about 6-8 servings.
