How to Make Low Fat Apple Bread

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Position oven rack to the second-lowest position.
  3. Grease two 9x5-inch loaf pans or prepare mini loaf pans.
  4. Grate 2 medium apples (about 2 cups grated).
  5. Set grated apples aside, covering with plastic wrap to prevent browning.
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup unsweetened applesauce, 2 large eggs, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  9. Fold in the grated apples and ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
  10. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
  11. Bake for 75-90 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let the loaves cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  13. Sprinkle with granulated sugar (optional) before slicing and serving.
