Nothing like Fall to bring out all the best baking recipes. And of course all the best aromas in the kitchen. One of the best things I learned from Italians are, Yes you can have cake for breakfast.

So why not a sweet bread too?! And this Applesauce Bread with a tasty crumb topping is perfect, even for a snack in the afternoon with a hot coffee or tea.

I made this bread with my own Homemade Applesauce, but a store bought one that has very little sugar added would work too.

I also added some nuts to batter. For this bread I used pecans, but you could also use either almonds, hazelnuts or walnuts.

    • Let cool completely before slicing.

    How to store Applesauce Bread

    Sweet Breads are best stored in an airtight bag and well sealed. They can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.

    To freeze sweet breads be sure to wrap the completely cooled loaf (or if you prefer individual slices), tightly in foil or plastic wrap, then place them in freezer safe bags or container.

    They can be frozen for up to 3 months.

    The loaf or slices can be thawed at room temperature.

          I just had my first piece and it is delicious! Next time I might pour half of the batter, then half of the crumb topping, and repeat. The topping seems to fall off and I don’t want to waste any of it. This recipe is a keeper and I will definitely make it again and again.

          Outstanding recipe. Easy, delicious, and a perfect texture. I didn’t make the topping, but next time I plan to make a glaze using apple juice.
