- Dolce Foglia offers amazing alternatives that you can use including vanilla. Check them out and use code: JENN10 to get yours
- 2 cups is about 2 average-size apples; 10.5 oz in total weight.
- You can use salted butter instead. Just omit the sea salt.
Extra notes:
- You can also line the pan after buttering and then butter the liner as well. It does make it easier to take the bread out.
- If you’re looking to do this as a gift or for a bake sale and are using the mini loaf tins you can make 5 loaves of bread per batch (below is an image of a double batch I made for a church bake sale recently.
