    Easy applesauce bread bakes right in your bread machine for a warm and hearty side dish for soup night. Try toasting a slice for the best peanut butter toast EVER.


    Once the weather turns cold, our family loves to have soup several times a week. We rotate the kinds of soup and then the side dishes that go with them to keep a nice sense of variety.

    To keep soup night extra easy, I love to use my specialty kitchen appliances -- the Instant Pot, slow cooker, and bread machine all get a big workout from October through March.

    Warm fresh bread with soup is one of our very favorite side dishes. Many years ago, my mother-in-law gave us a bread machine for a Christmas present. I bought a simple bread machine baking book that year and we've tried so many fun recipes out of it ever since.

    This sweet but hearty applesauce bread has real oats mixed in. I served it with a pot of slow cooker chicken soup for dinner and it was a huge hit.

    Applesauce bread in the bread machine is perfect for soup night!

    What is the texture of this applesauce bread?

    The texture of the bread is more like a traditional slicing loaf, not a muffin-like quick bread. It is sweet, but not overly so. You can easily slice it for sandwiches or toasting, too.

    What can I do with applesauce bread?

    Since the bread is easy to slice, there are tons of things you could make with it:

    • Make amazing peanut butter toast
    • Toast it and add apple butter to double the apple flavor
    • Layer it with turkey and cheese for a yummy fall sandwich, cold
    • Grill it with gruyere and ham for an awesome hot sandwich
    • Make a unique french toast and top it with salty pecans and maple syrup
