This was good. I skipped the applesauce and diced two Macintosh apples instead. Next time I'll follow other reviewer's suggestions and use only 1/2 packet of the oatmeal on the top.

Thank you Monique! This is great. Minor changes I made - added 1 cup chopped apples (Macintosh), 1/4 cup raisins, and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts. This will be made again and again and again...

I made a loaf and it was gone in 10 minutes. Definitely a winner in my house!

Easy and yummy! Could not find chunky applesauce so I chopped up a granny smith apple and added it to regular applesauce. Next time I will make muffins.

I made this in the morning before work to take to co-workers. It is easy, inexpensive and oh so tasty. I highly recommend. I used the store brand oatmeal packets. Took advise of others and used 1 1/2 packets in batter and 1/2 packet on top. I sprinkled with some cinnamon/sugar before topping with oatmeal. I agree with others to check the bread 5 to 10 minutes before suggested cooking time ends for doneness. I didn't and wish I would have. It was still delicious just more done on the bottom and sides than I like. However was still moist & delicious. Received many compliments. Thanks for posting such a tasty, easy bread recipe. Oh yeah, I doubled and it worked out just fine.

This one surprised me. Inexpensive to make and really delicious. I used store-brand oatmeal packets. Very moist, great apple flavor, and the fact that chunky applesauce was the primary moisture instead of butter made me feel less guilty about eating it. I followed other's advice and added 1 1/2 packets of the oatmeal to the bread. It seemed like 1/2 pack was more than enough to cover the top, and I can understand how for some the topping might have gotten burned. Check your oven temp and check the bread for doneness 5 - 10 minutes before the recipe states. It may be ready and you're getting a wet tester (toothpick) because you tested through an apple chunk in the batter, instead of the cake. Delicious, cheap, easy.

Guess I should have read the reviews first. I made this exactly as written and didn't like it much. A whole pack of oatmeal on top is way too much. The top was powdery, salty and the apple bits got way too brown. I may try this again following some of the other review suggestions. This could be a really great recipe if the topping was fixed.

Very good bread. I doubled the recipe to make 2 loaves. Smelled awesome while cooking and the family could not wait for it to cool off before eating it! Thanks for the recipe.

Loved these! I added one chopped up apple to mix and made muffins instead of a loaf. Moist with lots of apple flavor.

It was ok. Not crazy about the texture or the flavor the oatmeal gave it. It may be better if just plain oatmeal was used.

This bread is my absolute favorite! It is so easy and delicious. Just like other reviewers, I will only put it in the oven for 45 minutes and I will put about 1.5 packets into the mix. Wonderful recipe!!

Bland and boring. I was disappointed the bread lacked flavor all together. I followed a recommendation and made the topping with brown sugar, but that was the only flavor and not enough to give the bread any taste.

Wonderful! doubled everything to make two loaves. Added 1 granny smith apple plus a smaller one. Only took 45 mins to bake. Next time I'll add a pinch of salt to batter, it seemed to be missing this element. Excellent. Thank you!

Delicious, easy and economical. I love that there is so little butter/oil in the recipe. And it is a creative way to use instant oatmeal. I put 2 packets in the batter and skipped the one on top because if my husband saw oatmeal on it he might think it was "healthy" and be put off. But it turned out great with that slight change.

What a great way to use up all of those packets of oatmeal that no one eats! I love this recipe not only for its simplicity, but also for its flexibility - you could easily substitute different fruit purees (like pumpkin) and different flavors of oatmeal for a new taste. This is a keeper!

We over all liked it, i guess I just wanted it to be a little more oatmealy. I changed a couple things, whole wheat flour, cinnamon apple sauce, fresh apple chopped,chopped up pecans for some crunch, and took a strudel topping from a previous review. Next time Im going to use original oatmeal and add more in and on top.

LOVED it! So easy, moist, and fluffy! Great flavor. I used the trick of putting 1.5 packets of oatmeal into the bread, and .5 packets on top. Most of it stayed on, and the crumble like topping was delicious!
