2 Ingredient Apple Bread
This easy apple bread is soft and full of apple flavor. It is just 2 ingredients and doesn't require any eggs, butter or oil.
Ingredients
- 16 oz (454 g) sweetened applesauce
- 3 cups (375 g) self-rising flour, see note regarding amount needed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (191°C). Line an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Add self-rising flour to a large mixing bowl. Do a quick sift of the flour by running a whisk through the flour quickly in a back and forth motion until the flour looks very light and powdery. Add in applesauce.
- Mix with a spatula until applesauce and flour are completely incorporated and no lumps or streaks of flour remain. Your batter will be very thick and should look like a very wet dough.
- Pour batter into prepared loaf pan. Place into oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes. When the bread is done, the top should be brown and if you press down lightly on the surface of the bread, it should bounce back.
- Let bread cool fully in pan before cutting and serving.
Notes
- This recipe was originally tested with White Lily's self-rising flour which has a lower protein content than some other brands of self-rising flour. Please check the protein content of your flour before starting. If your self-rising flour has 2 grams of protein per 1/4 cup, then you can use the amount stated in the recipe. If your self-rising flour has 3 grams of protein per 1/4 cup, then remove 6 tbsp of the flour from the amount in the recipe and replace with 6 tbsp of cornstarch.
- Homemade self-rising flour: If your all purpose flour has 3 grams of protein per 1/4 cup, use the following measurements: Add 2 cups + 10 tbsp all purpose flour, 4.5 tsp baking powder, 6 tbsp cornstarch and 3/4 tsp salt to a bowl. Whisk until evenly combined. If your all purpose flour has 2 grams of protein per 1/4 cup, use the following measurements: Add 3 cups all purpose flour, 4.5 tsp baking powder, and 3/4 tsp salt to a bowl. Whisk until evenly combined.
- To properly measure flour, spoon the flour into the measuring cup and then level off with a knife. Do not directly dip the measuring cup into the flour because this results in too much flour. Use this method of measuring whether you are measuring self-rising flour or measuring all purpose flour to make your own self-rising flour.
- 16 oz of applesauce refers to weight, not volume. If you buy the individual 4 oz containers of applesauce, you would use 4 of them.
- Make sure to use sweetened applesauce. See post for more details. You can use sweetened cinnamon applesauce or sweetened plain applesauce. I used Mott's cinnamon applesauce.
- This bread has the texture similar to regular bread, it is not a cake-like quick bread. It is also only very lightly sweetened. It is not meant to be a sweet cake bread.
