Here’s a clear guide to Cake Mix Apple Bread, a simple and delicious quick bread that combines cake mix with fresh apples for a moist, sweet, and easy-to-make treat:

What It Is

Cake Mix Apple Bread is a moist, sweet quick bread made using a boxed cake mix as a base and incorporating chopped apples. It’s faster and simpler than traditional yeast bread, and it often includes cinnamon or nuts for added flavor.

Common Ingredients

• 1 box (≈15–18 oz) yellow or spice cake mix
• 2–3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
• 2–3 eggs
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional, if not using spice cake mix)
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
• Optional topping: sprinkle of sugar or streusel

Basic Method

1. Preheat oven: 350 °F (175 °C). Grease or line a loaf pan.
2. Prepare batter: In a large bowl, mix the cake mix, eggs, and oil until smooth.
3. Add apples: Fold in diced apples (and nuts if using).
4. Optional cinnamon: Sprinkle cinnamon on top or mix into the batter for extra flavor.
5. Pour into pan: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared loaf pan.
6. Bake: 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Cool: Let cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
8. Optional topping: Sprinkle sugar, drizzle glaze, or add streusel while warm.

Tips for Perfect Cake Mix Apple Bread

• Apples: Firm varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best; avoid very soft apples.
• Moisture: If the batter seems too thick due to dry apples, add a tablespoon or two of milk.
• Extra flavor: Mix in 1 tsp vanilla extract or 1/2 tsp nutmeg.
• Storage: Wrap tightly and store at room temperature for 2–3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
