Forgive me for posting another quick bread recipe right on the heels of my Chocolate Zucchini Banana Bread but if you love sweet quick breads as much as I do, hopefully there isn’t much to forgive. I know you are going to love this Pumpkin Apple Bread recipe and I’ve received so many requests for it on Instagram.
PUMPKIN APPLE BREAD
I really enjoy baking quick breads. That is obvious by the number of recipes for them on my site! They are easy, delicious and great to have on hand for breakfast or an afternoon snack. They freeze extremely well and are easy to convert to muffins if you’d rather go that route.
Of course with the arrival of fall (in date only…the weather is lagging behind) I had to break open my first can of pumpkin. But I have to admit to you that I like apple things even more than pumpkin things when it comes to fall baking so I decided to marry the two!
This quick bread is a blend of pumpkin bread with the influence of apple cake. Apple cake ranks up there in the all-time favorite dessert category because it not only tastes amazing but is so nostalgic for me.
I did attempt to make a couple “healthier” (we won’t call this bread healthy) swaps in this recipe including the addition of some whole wheat flour and the substitution of plain Greek yogurt for some of the oil.
You don’t even have to break the mixer out for this recipe. Everything is stirred by hand. You can have it prepped and in the oven in 15 minutes, no problem!
TADA! Isn’t she gorgeous!??
Pumpkin bread studded with apple chunks and toasted walnuts. Go make this now! Oh and a random thought I had while slicing, photographing and taste testing this recipe…the end slice is my FAVORITE when it’s fresh out of the oven. I love the crispy edges before the bread cools and softens.

I cannot believe it’s been nearly a month since I completed Moab Run The Rocks! It’s a three-day stage race in Moab, Utah that’s put on by the same race organization, TransRockies Rockies Race Series, that I did my six-day Colorado race with back in August. TransRockies truly excels when it comes to planning and [...]

I recently spent four nights in Moab, Utah for a three-day stage trail race called Moab Run The Rocks. Since returning home, I’ve been telling everyone I talk to about my trip that they must put Moab on their travel bucket list (43 miles of running not required to have an amazing visit to Moab [...]

This potato and broccoli cheddar soup is a warm hug in a bowl. It’s a mash up of potato soup meets broccoli cheddar soup, and makes for a creamy, hearty and cheesy bowl that has just enough broccoli in it to make you feel like you’re getting your veggies in for a complete meal. POTATO [...]

I am sitting down to write this post with teary eyes and a heavy heart. On New Year’s Eve we said goodbye to Zoey. It seems like only yesterday that I brought this fluffy nugget home. Many of you have been here with me since Zoey was a puppy. She was the sweetest little sister [...]
