I am very surprised at the high ratings on this recipe. While the end result was good, I had to tweak the ingredients severely to achieve it. This batter was incerdibly DRY. Instead of butter I used half apple butter and half oil, but had to add another 1/2 cup of apple butter. I also increased the milk to 1/4 cup. Only after this was it workable. I also added another cup of apples into the ending batter.

This. Bread. Is. Incredible. I didn't have walnuts or chocolate chips, but it still came out delicious. Tried it for the first time today, currently making loaves 3 and 4. Thanks so much for posting this recipe!!

I loved this recipe!!..although I didn't like the topping. It didn't seem to go with the bread so I made my own: 1/4 cup butter, softened 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon 1/2 cup brown sugar Mix and microwave until the butter is melted and then I drizzled it on top of the bread...oh my goodness...AMAZING!!..p.s.. also added more apples and choco chips than called for...so good.

I found the bread to be pretty dry, and in need of more apple chunks and choco.chips... so for my second bread, i added about a half cup of vanilla yogurt, an extra half cup of apples, and a bit more chocolate then called for. It turned out great! wonderful and addictive, and the smells coming out of the oven were heavenly!

Baking is definitely not my strong point but this came out absolutely amazing! I made it with half margarine/half butter, and half walnuts/half pecans. My apples of choice were Granny Smith and Pink Lady. We ate half a loaf with a couple of pots of coffee - so good! I'll definitely be making this again.

I have to agree that this bread is a little plain and that the topping is messy, but I changed the recipe some so I can't complain much. I left out the nuts (didn't have any) and was looking for something to fix a chocolate craving, so I added a tablespoon and a half of cocoa powder (and 3 oz. applesauce to compensate) to the mix. Don't do this guys, you couldn't taste it, and I think it might have competed with the spices. The spices of the batter and also the texture and rise of the cake WERE very good and yummy. I would suggest adding more chocolate chips or at least mini ones, but that depends on what you want. I thought it was a little too sweet yet plain, needed something, don't know what. If I made it again, I'd cut the sugar and increase the choc chips, or at least use a really strong apple like a Granny Smith for that flavor. And I wouldn't bother with the sugar topping. Maybe a touch of caramel would be good in this cake, too.

This was really good. I brought it to a board meeting and it was a huge hit. I didn't have buttermilk so I substituted sour cream instead. I also used real butter instead of margarine.

I'm giving this a 4 because my mom and husband liked it, although I did not. I thought it was bland, but they said they enjoyed the flavor of the chocolate and apples together. Maybe I just didn't use a tart enough apple for my own taste!

This recipe is delicious. I made a few changes, I used Granny Smith apples, I used caramel chocolate swirl chips instead of semi sweet chips and pecans instead of walnuts to make Gourmet Caramel Apple Bread, like those gourmet caramel apples you get that are covered in caramel and chocolate and pecans. It was delicious. It quickly disappeared at a family pot luck get together.

I have this recipe already in a cookbook I own, its a keeper for sure, I make about 4 loaves each time I make it, I keep one out for breakfast or a midmorning snack, wrap two up for the freezer and give 1 away to a friend, I like adding chopped pecans or walnuts and dried cranburys too,sweet, moist, simply excellent.

This was good but not great. For us, the apples and chocolate together just didn't do it. Very buttery and moist, though.

very good ... granny smith apples lend a nice tartness ... VERY sweet with the topping, i usually leave it off. i have also tried this with cocoa powder instead of chips ... in which case i add a little apple sauce to the batter for moisture and to strengthen the apple flavor against the cocoa powder.
