What is Quick Bread?
This easy cake mix apple bread is a quick bread. Quick breads use baking soda and baking powder to rise instead of using yeast. They are easier to make since you don't need to let the yeast proof.
The baking soda and baking powder are in the cake mix, so you don't have to add more of either one to make an easy apple bread recipe.
How to Use Cake Mix to Make an Apple Spice Bread Recipe
Cake mixes already have the leavening agents, baking powder and baking soda, as well as flour and salt. Therefore, they are perfect to use to make an apple bread made with cake mix.
You will just need to combine the cake mix with the applesauce. I usually use my home canned applesauce. If you buy applesauce from the store, then I recommend using an unsweetened natural applesauce.
Applesauce makes a great substitute for oil in quick breads. I almost always use applesauce instead of the oil, so you don't need to add the other ingredients from the box of cake mix to make apple bread made with cake mix.
I used a spice cake mix. However, you can also use a white cake mix or a yellow cake mix. You will need to add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon or 1.5 teaspoons apple pie spice.

This apple bread from cake mix is a basic recipe, but you can customize it.
