This easy, gluten-free quick bread is filled with diced apples and applesauce, and topped with a cinnamon sugar crust, for the best gluten-free Fall breakfast: Apple Cinnamon Bread!
Mine includes all of these, and warm, fresh bread out of the oven. What can I say? This girl LOVES carbs! 😉
I love to bake with applesauce, so every Fall I look forward to putting applesauce in all of my muffins and breads. Adding applesauce creates an incredibly moist bread, and I like to reduce the sugar in my breads too for a healthy breakfast.

. I love making the Cinnamon Applesauce Oat Bread – but for me it’s a simple, lightly-sweetened (with some applesauce) bread that I enjoy year round, without any real Fall vibes (aka apple cinnamon).
Now THIS Apple Cinnamon Bread is what you apple lovers were looking for. Apple Cinnamon in a warm quick bread is the BEST combination for an epic Fall morning. 🙂
First, don’t skimp on the cinnamon sugar topping. Usually I like to say this kind of stuff is an extra step and sort of optional.

This time it’s really not. The cinnamon sugar crust that forms on top of this bread pairs beautifully with the sweet apples throughout. It’s an easy way to take this bread from great to
Next: yes, you read that right… this recipe has one TABLESPOON of cinnamon in it for the bread. I love cinnamon and I don’t like to skimp on it.
Not to mention, the topping that has a little more cinnamon in it as well. Needles to say, this Apple Cinnamon Bread is definitely Apple Cinnamon. 🙂

You can use sweetened or unsweetened. I use both, just depending on what I have on hand. Just be sure that it’s fresh applesauce and it hasn’t been sitting around in your fridge for a while, or it won’t be as sweet.
You can also add a little more apple to this Apple Cinnamon Bread if you like. I cut up two granny smith apples very finely and used them (although I think both of my kids snagged a slice too!).
You’ll see in the picture, below, how the apples are flecked throughout the bread so you get just enough apple. Too much apple and I don’t think it’s the right texture, but another 1/2 cup or so wouldn’t hurt.
Decadent High Altitude Vegan Banana Bread
So, there you have it. Apple fiends, this one is for you. I’m with you, I am you! I hope you fall in love with this recipe and enjoy it as much as I do.
Till then, I’ll be enjoying another slice of warm bread, with a piping hot cup of coffee, watching the leaves change out my window…
Need more Fall recipes for your repertoire? You should look at my gluten-free Snickerdoodle Cupcakes, Apple Cinnamon Oat Muffins, or maybe my Soft Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies. 🙂There’s really nothing very fancy about a loaf of classic high altitude banana bread. Sure, you could add a streusel topping (a delicious option), or a handful of chocolate chips, or drizzle it with icing. You could swirl in some Nutella, or spread the slices with butter or jam. A trend these days is to slice a whole banana lengthwise, and then bake half the banana on top of the batter for a pretty presentation.

But a really good banana bread recipe that’s moist and flavorful doesn’t need anything else to recommend itself. A thick slice of plain and simple banana bread alongside a cup of coffee makes me pretty happy. My high altitude recipe is quick and easy to make, incredibly moist and flavorful, and lightly spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom.

How To Bake Cakes And Quick Breads At High Altitude
Bananas. With three bananas in one loaf, the bananas are the star ingredient, as they should be. If my bananas are on the small side and don’t fill up 1 1/2 cups after I mash them, I’ll often substitute some applesauce, or extra sour cream (if I don’t have any more bananas to use).
Butter. The butter keeps the bread moist and delicious. You can also substitute vegetable oil for the melted butter, if you prefer.
Sugar. Sugar sweetens the banana bread, of course, but it also adds moisture. I use a combination of both granulated sugar and dark brown sugar.

Spices. You can add any spices that you like – I spice mine lightly with a little cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom. The spices shouldn’t be too overpowering, but just enough to complement all the other flavors in the banana bread.
If you want a simple and easy to make banana bread recipe that also tastes amazing, you’ve found the perfect recipe! This banana bread couldn’t be easier to make.
Melt the butter, and then whisk together all the liquid ingredients in a large bowl until smooth. Depending on how well you mashed your bananas, you may have some banana lumps throughout, and that’s perfectly fine. The mashed bananas can be smooth or lumpy, and it’ll work out either way.
Brown Butter Banana Bread (high Altitude Friendly!)
Now sift the flour, baking soda, salt and spices. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, and stir just until moistened. You don’t want to over-mix your batter, or your banana bread will be tough instead of tender and fluffy.
Before baking your banana bread, prep your loaf pan by lining it with a piece of parchment paper. The paper should hang over two sides, so that you can easily lift the bread out of the pan while it’s warm. This is called a parchment paper “sling”.
Classic banana bread has a long bake time – about 55 minutes. The top will be cracked and golden brown, and inside the bread will be so moist and delicious.
Easy To Make Zucchini Bread
I didn’t add any nuts or chocolate chips to my banana bread, because I kind of prefer it plain, and my boys had no complaints. It’s great on its own, or spread with a little nut butter or jam. But I wouldn’t turn down a slice of banana bread that’s studded with dark chocolate chips or chopped pecans. Both complement this classic banana bread recipe perfectly.
What’s better than buttery, crumbly streusel topping? It adds a crunchy texture and salty-sweet flavor that’s just wonderful. I recommend the crumb topping recipe from my pumpkin streusel bread.
A pretty loaf bread drizzled with icing is irresistible. Make a simple powdered sugar glaze and pour it over the top. Vanilla or maple icing would both be great. For a fancy finish, sprinkle the icing with chopped nuts or dried banana slices.
Basic High Altitude Bread Recipe
My boys couldn’t get enough of this banana bread, and after it was gone, I made a second loaf to hide away in the freezer until later. Now I plan ahead so I can have enough over-ripe bananas to just double the recipe. That way we can have one loaf of bread to enjoy right away, and another to tuck away in the freezer for later.
I recently bought the Nordic Ware Fluted Loaf Pan, and I’m completely in love with it. It makes the most gorgeous loaf breads and cakes, and can turn something simple into a showstopper. Just look at the pumpkin bread I baked in this pan. Isn’t it stunning?
