Low Fat Apple Bread

Submitted by dale7793

"I made Secret's Apple Bread, but I made so many changes that I decided to post it as a separate recipe! This bread is very moist and does not suffer from having the fat removed. It is a chunky homey sort of bread that is high in fiber too! Also makes fantastic muffins or mini-muffins."

 

• Ready In: 1hr 35mins
• Ingredients: 12
• Serves: 15

ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups plain flour
• 1 1⁄2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 egg
• 4 egg whites
• 1 1⁄2 cups sugar
• 1 cup applesauce (unsweetened)
• 1 tablespoon vanilla essence
• 3 diced apples, with skins (granny smith or similar)

directions

1. Mix the flours, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and baking powder together in a medium bowl.
2. In a large bowl beat the egg and whites, sugar, applesauce and vanilla.
3. Stir in the dry ingredients, followed by the apples.
4. Stir until just combined.
5. I baked this in a slightly larger than normal, lightly greased, loaf pan and had enough mix left over for 8 mini-muffins.
6. This mix makes great muffins as well as the apple bread.
7. Cook muffins for about 20-30 minutes or until done in a 350 degree oven.
8. Bake the loaf for 1 hour in a 350 degree oven.

I would make this again! I substituted buckwheat flour for the wheat flour, and I used Slenda sugar blend for sugar. I also used egg substitute for the egg and egg whites. It was very moist and tasty!

Wow, this may be low in fat but it is still high in calories and sugar! This bread has over 5 teaspoons of sugar per slice - given the recommendations are 6-8 tsp/day (women/men), that would max out my sugar allowance for the day.

this recipe was a great success with friends. added some pecans (because they were there). It made 2 fullsize or 4 mine loaves.

Great healthy recipe. I made 22 muffins with the recipe. Also used 4 regular sized apples which I chopped up pretty small. Also added a little ground cloves and nutmeg, and used 1/2c. wheat bran in place of 1/2 c. of the whole wheat and 1/2 c. brown sugar in place of 1/2c. of the white flour. Will positively use again.

Very good bread, though it came out a little bit chunkier than I would prefer. Maybe my apples were too big. I may cut down on the diced apples. Nice flavor and texture for a low fat bread. I substituted Splenda for the sugar. Very tasty, thanks!
