Fall Harvest Bread #BreadBakers

Sharing is caring!

This month the Bread Bakers group is baking up Hearty Fall Breads.    I was excited to dig into this challenge since I love all things fall.  The only thing I was having trouble with was deciding if I wanted to make a pumpkin bread or an apple bread.

After much debate I wondered why I couldn’t just combine the two together and make an apple pumpkin bread.   I’ve never made an apple pumpkin bread before but I thought it would probably taste pretty good.  Pumpkin is a pretty mellow flavor that comes to life with spices and those same spices pair nicely with apples so why not?

I came up with a basic outline for a recipe but thought I needed to add in some nuts.   Walnuts say fall to me and I happen to have a bag in the pantry so that’s what I went with.

After mixing the bread up I popped it in the oven and then had the task of coming up with a name for this bread.   I kept switching around Pumpkin Apple Nut or Apple Nut Pumpkin but it all sounded too wordy.   After a while all I could smell was pumpkin, cinnamon, and other spices.   Soon I thought that the bread simply smelled like fall so why couldn’t my bread be a fall harvest bread?

I decided it could and that’s what it was.  The bread was sweet and tasted of pumpkin, apples, and spices with a nice crunch from the nuts.   It was super easy to whip up and makes a great breakfast or snack.
