About this dish
Apple bread is a popular vegetarian snack in Taiwan, commonly enjoyed as a breakfast item or a light snack. The recipe was created by Liu Zheji (Chinese: 劉哲基) and is widely available in school canteens, local grocery stores, convenience stores, and supermarkets across Taiwan. The bread is inspired by US military rations and is made from a dough enriched with wheat germ and eggs. The name Apple Bread was chosen due to the popularity of Apple Sidra advertisements at the time and the status of apples as a rare and valuable fruit in the country in the 1960s.
