Bread – Adding sugar at the end of the mixture for apple bread

applesbread

My apple bread recipe called for adding the sugar in with the sourcream, eggs and vanilla. I forgot to add the sugar until the dry ingredients and the apples were added. I added the sugar to the batter just before putting it in the oven. Will this make a difference in the taste or texture?

It is a bit of a guessgame without having seen the exact recipe, but applebreads tend to use rather robust recipes. So there is a very good chance that you will not notice much of a difference.

If the batter was on the dry side, you might get undissolved sugar. This will give you a grainy texture, possibly you will also perceive the applebread as drier, but the second effect can be subtle. In any case, it will be perfectly edible - it is just that, if the sugar is undissolved, it will deviate from usual expectations. Whether this is a problem or not will depend on the individual eaters.
