Frequently Asked Questions
- → What kind of apples work best?
Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Gala apples work well as they hold their shape while baking. Choose firmer apples that won't turn mushy.
- → Why is my bread dense?
Don't overmix the batter after adding flour - mix just until combined. Overmixing develops gluten and creates dense bread.
- → Can I freeze this bread?
Yes, wrap well in plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight and add fresh glaze before serving.
- → How do I know when it's done?
Insert a toothpick in the center - it should come out clean. The top should be golden brown and spring back when lightly touched.
- → Can I make this without the glaze?
Yes, the bread is delicious even without glaze. You could dust with powdered sugar instead, or leave plain.
