In reply to Bree. Hi Bree! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I haven't tried it with brown butter. It will likely take some alterations but without having done it, I just can't say for sure how to do it. If you do try it I would love to know how it goes. :)

Hi, sorry if this has already been answered, but could brown butter be used for this recipe? If so, any adjustments? 5 stars because I’ve made the recipe as is with a few Granny Smith apples, which came out delicious. I also made a version with a cream cheese glaze instead of the candied sugar topping. Both versions were great! So now I’m curious about a brown butter version lol, and I think I’ll do the same with your banana bread since we’re getting into the best baking seasons. Thanks in advance!!

In reply to Toya Turner. Hi Toya! You shouldn't have any issues with the salts, but we are hesitant to say how the flours would work without trying them ourselves

2 questions:
I only have pink Himalayan salt or celtic salt. Do I need regular table salt for this recipe?

Can I sub in oat flour or chickpea flour instead of all purpose flour?

In reply to Britt. When cut to the size indicated you get some texture from the apples

Do the apples “melt away” into the bread, or can you feel the texture of the apples?

In reply to Harmony E. Hi Harmony! The 1% will work, you may lose a little bit of moisture in the bread.

Does the milk have to be whole? Would 1% work?
Thanks!

In reply to Sam.

It turned out great and is really delicious. I used a spring-form pan instead of a loaf pan. I sprayed it generously with cooking spray and I didn’t have a problem with sticking and it looks really nice.
I also added the melted butter to the topping mix and made a little crumble that I sprinkled over the top instead of adding separately. I would definitely make this again.

In reply to Sam. We made this today and it was delicious, as all of your recipes are! We just went to the apple orchard and would like to make more, so I’m wondering how this bread would freeze?

This recipe worked great! It was a last minute decision for breakfast so I altered based on what I had. I used bread flour, no sour cream and half n half instead of milk. I did 1 cup of that since no sour cream. I also made it in a Bundt pan. It came out really good! I used convection which sped up the bake so it took 52 min to bake. I will definitely make this again and plan ahead to follow the recipe.

In reply to Evan.

Hi Evan! I believe the volume difference is about 25% less for the 8 inch square pan. It may get a little tricky to reduce everything by 25% so I’d be inclined to say just make it as is and discard any excess batter. I’m not sure on a bake time here though. 🙁 I would assume it would be reduced because the layer is thinner, but the ceramic dish throws in another loop. I wish I could be more helpful. 🙁 I would just keep an eye on it as it bakes and let me know how it turns out if you try it. 🙂

Hi Sam
How would the measurements and cooking time change for an 8×8 ceramic pan?

Excellent bread, just took longer to bake, 90 minutes in a loaf pan. Taste like it’s fresh from a bakery.
