Filled with apples and walnuts you’ll love Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Bread on cool fall mornings. A delicious yeast dough slightly sweetened with honey and apples will make this bread a favorite.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons yeast
- ¾ cup milk
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup old fashioned oatmeal
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup apple (peeled and diced)
- ½ cup walnuts (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
- Combine the water and milk and warm in the microwave for about 15 seconds, until it is warm but not hot.
- Add yeast to the bowl of a stand mixer and add warm milk mixture. Add oil, brown sugar, salt, oats, cinnamon, apples, walnuts and 1 cup of flour. Mix for about 2 minutes on high until it is well mixed. Then gradually add the remaining 1 cup of flour, mixing until the dough comes together. It should not be sticky.
- Place on a lightly floured surface and knead until it forms a smooth ball. Place it in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour until it has doubled.
- Punch down the dough to get the air out and roll it into a rectangle that is the same width as your loaf pan. Roll the dough, jelly roll style into a log and place in a greased loaf pan. Let it rise until it is about an inch over the top of the pan, about an hour.
- Brush with honey and sprinkle raw oatmeal on top. Bake at 375º for 30 minute until golden brown. Remove from the pan and let it cool on a cooling rack.

Barbara's Notes + Tips
- If your apples are juicy, then you may need to adjust the flour. The dough should not be too sticky to handle.
- This will fill up a 9 x 5 loaf pan.
- You can refrigerate this overnight once you have placed it in the loaf pan. Let it rise as it comes to room temperature and the oven pre-heats.
- You can use milk or cream, but do not use skim milk, you need the fat in the milk for the soft texture.
- Store in a ziplock on the counter for a day or two then freeze. It will dry out otherwise.
