I did not hold out a lot of hope for the apple portion of this bread. I was not confident that there would be a lot of apple flavor with just juice.
The bread is very hearty and thick. Not in a bad way though.
If you eat a slice for breakfast, it will fill you up for sure.
The flavor is strong in apple. Honestly I was shocked it had so much apple flavor.
The oats are what make it thick I think. They provide the thickness and heartiness to the bread.
It was a nice bread, with lots of flavor.

1 Cup Rolled Oats
1/4 Cup Packed Brown Sugar
2 Tablespoons Butter
1 1/2 Teaspoons Salt
1/4 Teaspoon Nutmeg
