There is something so comforting about baking bread at home, savory or sweet. We love apple bread. Quick Apple Bread Recipe is one of my all-time favorite dishes to bake every fall.
I used the Term QUICK APPLE BREAD in the previous sentence. Some of you are wondering why it is called Quick Bread.
Quick bread is called quick because it doesn’t call for yeast and you don’t have to wait for the bread to rise.
And another reason why it is called quick bread is that you are supposed to bake it immediately after mixing the ingredients.
The Eggless Apple Bread is so easy to make and the combination of the soft and chewy apples with flavors of cinnamon is divine.
We make lots of apple recipes with fresh apples during the fall. We make Fruit salad recipes using apples, Apple pie, apple butter, apple banana bread, apple pickle, apple enchiladas, etc.,
Pears are in season too. So thought let me try adding pear this time in my best apple bread recipe. And It was 100% successful.
If you have fresh pears and want to make something with pears, this apple-pear bread recipe is perfect. This is A perfect way to use Overripe Pears sitting on your countertop
Ingredients required
- Apples – make sure to pick apples that are good for baking like Pink Lady, Gala, or Honeycrisp. I am using Gala.
- Pear – Any pear will work in this recipe.
- Flour – all purpose is what you want here. Make sure to spoon and level the flour for accurate measuring.
- Sugar–granulated white sugar is what I used but this recipe is delicious with half brown and half white sugar as well.
- Oil – I have used a neutral oil. Butter can be substituted as well.
- Vanilla extract – It brings a comforting flavor to the bread.
- Baking powder – this will make the bread light and fluffy.
- Baking soda – this will help the bread rise.
- Salt – just a pinch to balance the sweetness.
- Spice – We use a generous amount of ground cinnamon.
- Milk – Makes the cake moist. You can use buttermilk, regular milk, or any non-dairy milk.
Step-by-step process
- Preheat oven to @350 degrees F. Place parchment paper into a loaf pan and keep it aside.
- In a bowl, mix sugar and milk until sugar dissolves completely. Then add oil and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Now sift the dry ingredients – flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon – over the wet ingredients.
- Add apple, and pear, fold gently just until combined and no more flour pockets are visible. Don’t over-mix the batter.
- Transfer the batter to the baking pan. Gently tap it on the counter to remove the air bubbles.
- Bake at @350 degrees F. for 60 to 65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.
- Cool the bread in the loaf pan for 10 minutes, then remove it from the pan and cool it on the rack completely before slicing.
- Eggless Apple Pear Cinnamon Bread is ready. Slice them and enjoy them with tea, coffee, or milk.
Tips, Notes, and quick FAQs
- Feel free to add raisins, dates, pecans, walnuts, chocolate chips, and caramel chips, to play around with more variations.
- Don’t over-mix the batter, as it’ll make the apple cinnamon bread tough and chewy. I don’t recommend using a mixer to combine the batter. A spatula is all you need.
- Milk should be at room temperature.
- Always let the bread bake for a total amount of time. Don’t open the oven before time. Air drafts can make bread fall.
- Bake the bread right away after the batter is mixed. It needs to go in the oven quickly.
- For easy removal of bread, always line your baking pan with parchment paper. It helps the bread come out cleanly.
- Different loaf pans conduct heat differently. I do not suggest using a ceramic or glass pan. If you do, you’ll have to keep an eye on the loaf and adjust the cooking time.
- Do not try to remove the apple Pear cinnamon bread from the loaf pan too early.
- Due to the long baking time, sometimes you notice that the top is becoming too browned and the bread is not fully baked. In that case, wrap the baking pan with aluminum foil for the last few minutes.
Yes, you can use shredded apples and pears.
Yes, 100%. I don’t like when the skin separates from the apple and pear during baking. I don’t like the texture it creates.
To prevent your apple pear cinnamon bread from getting dry should be stored at room temperature in an airtight container, wrapped in plastic, or in a large, bag for up to 5 days.
Yes! Let the bread cool completely and then wrap the bread. Place in a freezer Ziploc bag and freeze for up to 2 months.
Bread should be thawed at room temperature. Simply unwrap the number of slices or whole loaf and let come to room temperature.
You sure can. Double up the ingredients and pans.

Rita Desai says
Hi Dhwani,
How do you cut the slices of any quick breads? I made orange cranberry bread couple of times, but making their slices , they break from the top. Can you suggest me what kind of knife do you use? or show me the picture in the recipe?
Dhwani Mehta says
Hi,
First of all, did you let the bread cool down completely? Because It is the most important step to get clean and neat slices without breaking the bread. I use a serrated knife. I hope this helps. Thank you for stopping by!
Jodee Keskin says
Baked this bread today and the results are excellent! My son is allergic to egg so I am always looking for egg free recipes. Thanks!

Hi Jodee,

Emily says
This was fantastic. I made one change, which was to swap out the cinnamon for 1.5 tsp cardamom and .5 tsp ginger, just for some variety. Really delicious, lovely texture and color.
Dhwani Mehta says
SO good to know. Thank you! 🙂
Crystal says
Do you think I could use 2 apples instead of an apple and a pear?
Dhwani Mehta says
Hi,
Yes you can use. Make sure to measure the chopped apples. It should be 2 cups.Hope this helps.
