  8. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Storage: Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. For longer shelf life, refrigerate it for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Reheating: To enjoy warm slices, simply microwave for 20-30 seconds or lightly toast them for a delightful treat.
  • Apple Choice: Use firm apples like Honeycrisp, Granny Smith, or Gala for the best results, as they hold their shape during baking and provide a nice balance of sweet and tart.
  • Adding Nuts: If you prefer some crunch, fold in chopped walnuts or pecans with the apples for added texture.
  • Glaze Option: For a sweeter finish, drizzle a simple powdered sugar glaze (made from powdered sugar and a splash of milk) over the top after the bread cools.
