This Apple Raisin Bread is one of my best treats and I love it best served warm with some salted butter spread and melted over the top. A sweet tasting bread with sugar, applesauce and honey in a dense dough with fresh diced apples and raisins and a sugar glaze drizzled on top. This bread is not only delicious but so simple to make and that’s the best part!
To make Apple Raisin Bread, you will need the following ingredients:
In a small bowl, combine 2 packages of dry yeast with ½ cup water and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Set aside to activate.
In a large bowl, whisk 3 large eggs with 1 cup of applesauce, ½ cup of honey, ½ cup of canola oil, 2 teaspoons of salt and remaining 1 cup of water until combined.
Once activated, add the yeast to the bowl of wet ingredients and mix to combine.
Slowly add and mix in 8-9 cups of all-purpose until a soft dough forms.
Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm area, for about 1 hour, to rise until doubled in volume. Once doubled, punch down, re-cover with plastic wrap and set aside for another 30 minutes to rise again.
In a small bowl, toss 1½ cups of peeled and chopped apples with 1½ cups of raisins and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice until coated and combined.
Grease 3 8-inch round baking pans and sprinkle with cornmeal.
Portion the dough into 3 equal pieces and knead ⅓ of the apple and raisin mixture into each piece. Shape each one into a round, flat ball and transfer to the prepared baking pans.
Cover with kitchen towels and set aside for an hour to rise until doubled in volume.
Preheat the oven to 350 °F.
Brush each loaf with 1 beaten egg and sprinkle the top with some sugar.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until the base of each loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
Slice, serve and enjoy warm or at room temperature, as you wish!
