We love quick breads and muffins. Banana Bread has long been a favorite but I know a lot of people who can’t tolerate bananas. I thought apples would be the next best thing. I created a recipe with all the flavors of spiced apple cider in a simple quick bread, Apple Cider Bread.

This recipe is perfect for an after school snack or to have on hand for when you want just a little something extra. Tell me I’m not the only one who likes a little snack when the kids finally get in bed.
My boys love Apple Cider Bread. This loaf disappeared in about two days.

It’s not strictly a fall or holiday recipe but the spices, and citrus zest definitely remind me of Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I love the look of this bread, would you know the Nutritional values as far as carbs and sugar, etc.
Do you know what would happen if I omitted the salt?
Can I use unsweetened apple sauce instead of the apple juice?
You could but you would probably need to add more liquid. I haven’t tested using apple sauce instead. If you have an apple, you could throw it in the blender and blend until its liquid. Just remember that the apple is providing moisture and sweetness so you may need to add maple syrup, date paste or sugar.
