Recipe Tips:

• Instead of apples, you could use pears or peaches.
• This will taste just as good, maybe not as good as the apples, but it’ll still give you delicious pie bread.
• Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing.
• It cuts easier when it is cooled.
• However, if you can’t wait – then dig into it warm, it may just be a bit more crumbly
• If you want to make ahead, wrap the bread properly and store at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months.
