I think I may have mentioned that it has been an exceptional year for all kinds of garden produce. I am drowning in all kinds of apples. Initially all the wet weather was responsible for the huge crop, but all these high winds we have been experiencing has made it not only a daily job collecting the windfall apples from the grass but almost an hourly job. I hate waste of any description and our storage space is limited and there are only so many friends that you can load them off on. This is one recipe that is going down well and at least I only need to wash the apples and roughly chop before slo cooking, pushing through a wire sieve and hey ho great apple sauce.
Warm Apple Pie Bread with Cinnamon!
Servings 12
Ingredients:
2/3 cup brown sugar, divided
1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup white sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup applesauce (note: you can use 1/2 cup butter and skip the applesauce if you prefer)
2 eggs, well beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup milk
1 large or 2 small apples, peeled and chopped
1 tablespoon butter melted
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour an 8x4 loaf pan
Combine 1/3 cup of the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.
With mixer on medium, cream white sugar, remaining brown sugar and butter until fluffy. Mix in applesauce (if using), beaten eggs and vanilla.
Stir together flour and baking powder. Add flour to egg mixture along with milk and stir just until combined. Do not overmix!!
Pour half of the batter into a greased and floured loaf pan. Sprinkle with 1/2 of the apples and 1/2 of the cinnamon mixture.
Stir the remaining apples into the remaining batter and pour into the pan. Top with remaining cinnamon mixture.
Bake approx. 40 minutes. Brush topping with melted butter. Continue baking an additional 5-10 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool 10 minutes and remove from pan. This is the difficult bit, the aroma that has been circulating throughout the kitchen will make it difficult not to have a slice immediately!
