    If you've shied away from baking yeast bread before because you think they're complicated and fiddly what with all that kneading, this easy apple bread is right up your alley!

    This dough basically takes only two bowls, one spoon, and a little bit of rising time. You really can't get any easier or less fiddly than that!

    • 3 apples, peeled and diced (I used Pink Lady)
    • ground cinnamon
    • grated nutmeg
    • sugar
    • lemon juice
    • salt
    • all-purpose flour
    • yeast
    • milk
    • eggs
    • honey
    • butter
    • confectioners sugar (optional)

    Kitchen tools and equipment needed:

    • apple peeler
    • citrus press (optional)
    • mixing bowls
    • fresh nutmeg grater (optional)
    • whisk
    • wooden spoons or spatulas
    • measuring cups and spoons
    • cutting board
    • chef's knife
    • loaf pan (standard size)
    • plastic wrap
    • baking spray
    • baking sheet (optional)
    • cooling rack
    • confectioners sugar shaker (optional)

    How long will this apple bread take to make from start to finish?

    • The first thing you'll notice about this dough is how wet it is. It's not at all stiff or firm dough, so don't be concerned. That said, because this dough is so wet, the rise times and bake time will be longer than your average yeast bread, so please plan accordingly.
    • This apple yeast bread will take two risings at 60 minutes each, and one bake at approximately 90 minutes.
    • All total, you're looking at approximately 6 hours from start to finish, and this includes the cool down time.
    • Having said that, the hands-on time involved is only like 30 minutes total. You can go about your business doing your own thing while the bread rises and bakes. You won't need to babysit or fuss with it. Yay!

    The easy instructions for making No-Knead Apple Yeast Bread:

    • Stir well with a wooden spoon until completely incorporated.
    • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise (it will not quite double in volume) for 60 minutes in a warm (not hot) place.

    • Place the apples in a medium-sized bowl and toss them with fresh lemon juice.

    • Top the layer of dough with half of the prepared diced apples.
    • Top the apples with the remaining dough and top the second layer of dough with the remaining apples.
    • Allow the bread to rise again in a warm, draft-free place for 50 - 60 minutes.
    • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
    • Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 90 minutes, or until a pick or skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
    • Place on a cooling rack for 30 minutes, and then turn the loaf out of the pan and cool completely before slicing.

      This sounds great and I'd really like to make it. However, as a person who is not a natural baker and really needs clear instructions, I'm a bit confused. The ingredient list only shows cinnamon and nutmeg to be used for preparing the apples. But then in the step-by-step instructions, the recipe says to add the cinnamon and nutmeg to the dough. So where to I put the cinnamon and nutmeg? In the prepared apples? Into the dough? Both?
      I'm looking forward to some clarification. 🙂

        Hi, Katja!
        Thank you so much for being kind in bringing my error to my attention.
        I've since gone in and corrected the recipe. You will actually add the cinnamon and nutmeg
        to both the apples and the dough. I'm sorry for my mistake in writing this recipe.
        I do hope you'll enjoy this bread. It's quite delicious and loaded with great flavor.
        Take good care, and thanks again!
        Renee
