Sweet & Nutty Apple Bread
Food Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter 1/4 cup sugar 2 eggs, beaten well 2 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 cups grated apples, skins on (I used about 6 small apples; 4 gree cup brown sugar diced walnuts
Recipe preparation:
1 Preheat oven to 350. Butter or grease a 9 * 5 loaf pan. 2 In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. 3 Beat in eggs, one at a time, until just blended. 4 In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. 5 Core and grate apples, skins on, into a large bowl. Keep juices and fruit together. (The apple juice will help keep the bread moist.) Add vanilla; stir. 6 Add 1/3 of the flour mixture to the egg mixture and mix until just incorporated. Then, add 1/3 of the grated apple, and again, mix until just incorporated. Repeat this step until all dry ingredients and apple have been added to the egg mixture. Do not over mix. 7 Pour into the well-greased loaf pan. 8 For topping: In a clean bowl, mix together brown sugar and diced walnuts. Sprinkle brown sugar and walnut mixture generously over the top of the bread; use all of it – you won’t regret it! 9 Bake for 50-55 minutes. Remove from pan and cool on wire rack.
