Tips & FAQs
Best apples?
Granny Smith works perfectly because tart apples balance the sweetness.
Can I use Honeycrisp?
Absolutely. Honeycrisp and Pink Lady also work well.
Why is my loaf dense?
Overmixing develops gluten and creates heavy bread.
Mix only until ingredients combine.
Can I freeze it?
Yes. Wrap tightly and freeze up to 2 months.
