Notes
Many people will probably be wondering whether or not you can add big apple pieces to the bread. You can, but we don't recommend it. As the apple softens when it's cooked, it will shrink. Simultaneously, the bread structure sets in place. So, when the apples shrink, it leaves gaps in the bread. This ultimately causes the loaf to sink in.
There are a ton of delicious toppings you can add to this apple pie bread recipe with yellow cake mix. Some of our favorites include nuts, caramel or butterscotch sauce, and honey.
