If you want to make an apple bread recipe in a bread machine, then you will probably use the sweet menu setting. This setting is used for bread machine recipes that contain extra sugar, eggs, chocolate, fruit juice, raisins, dried fruit or apples. The overall baking temperature of the sweet setting is slightly lower in order to prevent burning the sweet ingredients. Nobody likes raisins that have been burnt to a crisp.
There are probably quite a few variations on a bread machine apple bread recipe. Here are a few of them.
Apple Walnut Bread
To make this 1.5-lb bread loaf, start by pouring these liquid ingredients into the bread pan: 3/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce, 3/8 cup apple juice, three tablespoons of butter or margarine and one large egg.
Next, measure and carefully add the following dry ingredients to the bread pan: 4 cups bread flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 and 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.
Then, make a small hole on top of the flour and pour two teaspoons of active dry yeast into it. The hole is to prevent any yeast from spilling and coming into contact with the liquids.
Now you can proceed by putting the bread pan into the bread machine and locking it into place. Close the lid and use the menu button to select the sweet setting and choose the 1.5-lb loaf size. Press the start button to get things going.
Apple Oat Bread
It seems like apple oatmeal bread is a delicious choice for the breakfast table.
So, the basic ingredients for an apple oat bread are 400mL apple juice, 4.25 cups bread flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1.5 teaspoons salt, 2.5 tablespoons butter, one teaspoon cinnamon, half a cup of rolled oats and 2.5 cups active dry yeast.
Add these ingredients into the baking pan according to the bread maker’s instructions. Depending on whether your bread machine has an automatic fruit dispenser or not, you will either load half a cup of chopped dried apple into the dispenser or add the chopped dried apple when the mix-in beep sounds.
Conclusion
While there are other bread machine apple bread recipes available, I am not going to add more. Your bread machine user manual might contain an apple bread recipe. Otherwise, you might find more recipes by doing a search online.
