Apple Bread

MarLoCat — Fri, 26 Sep 2014 04:58:08 GMT

Just found this recipe, thought I'd share it with you...Looks easy to make when you don't have too much time for baking.

(Only Problem...it did Not state the size of the Loaf-Pan...Guessing maybe a standard or 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches)???

I have two sizes of bread or loaf pans - 8-1/2 X 4-1/2 inches (holds 6 cups) and 9 X 5 inches (holds 8 cups).

I found the capacity for those two types of pans from the website Joy of Baking.

In this case, if I had a choice, I would use a 9 X 5 pan. The ingredients when added up come very close to 6 cups. Plus there's a topping.

I always use my 9 X 5 pan if there are a lot of add-ins or I wonder if the recipe will fit.

That's just my take on it. It could be that either size pan will work.

Hi peachesncream...Thank You so much for the info on the loaf-pan size to use. I will try the 9 X 5 Loaf-pan.

Just wanted to let you know that I made this Apple Bread

today and it is awesome.

It is so easy to make.

I was wondering how it would be with some nuts in it and

my dear husband said IT IS GOOD JUST LIKE IT IS ~ so guess

I better leave it alone.

Will make this again ~ again ~ and again.

Thanks so much for sharing.

Hi dex...You could start with Cutting no more than a quarter of the sugar. When cutting back on sugar in baking, since sugar does more than sweeten foods. It provides bulk and texture, helps baked goods brown and keeps them fresh longer. Baked goods made with less sugar or with sugar substitutes can be dense and rubbery and may not brown. Hope this helps!

I copied and pasted this recipe and plan to make it tomorrow since I have some apples that need to be used soon. It sounds delicious for breakfast or snacking. I may add some walnuts to the batter. Thanks for posting the recipe.

Hi Schultzi...So Happy to hear that you & your DH Enjoyed the recipe for the Apple bread! Just curious...what kind of apples did you use? I used Granny Smith apples...next time I might try two different kinds of apples.

Apple Bread Changes...Did not care too much for the topping just going to leave it plain or just sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar. Add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to the chopped apples. IMO it's better without the sugary topping.

SCHULTZI — Thu, 09 Oct 2014 14:04:26 GMT

I used Gala apples. I cut them in very little pieces { less than1/4 inch

pieces }.

I have made this bread twice and the second time I added 1/2 cup

chopped pecans. We loved it with the addition of the pecans. But it is

good either way you want to fix it.

I'm sure you'll do well with the standard 9x5 bread pan.

This month's Food Network Magazine had quick bread recipes in it - If you get the magazine, you know that little '50 versions of something different each month'? This month was quick breads.

I made the pumpkin bread a few days ago and it's really nice. The only tweaks I made to the recipe (it wouldn't be me if I didn't tweak something!) were to reduce the amount of sugar a little bit and I added pecans since I had an open bag from making the bird his birdie bread last week.

Hi Chickenbutt- can you post your pumpkin bread recipe - original sugar and what you used? I usually always cut back on the sugar. I don't care for overly sweet. I don't have a birdie but I bet it is good too. TIA

I love quick breads and I'm sure the others readers would like it too. Apple or pumpkin. Would love both

Yahooey - Sure, no problemo. But it's not my recipe. I got it from Food Network Mag. Ok, here goes -

PUMPKIN BREAD

Ingredients:

1 cup pumpkin puree

½ cup veg oil

½ cup brown sugar

¼ cup water

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla

_____________________

2 ¼ cups flour

¾ cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

½ teaspoon salt

______________________

Directions:

Whisk the first six ingredients together.

Separately, whisk the last five ingredients together.

Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients.

Put in 9x5” loaf pan. (I used a nonstick pan but if you don’t, either do the flour/Crisco thing or line it with parchment)

Bake at 350F for 60-70 minutes (I say 60-61 minutes works perfectly).

Let cool one hour, then remove from pan and cool completely on a rack

Sorry, I formatted it very nicely but it came out lamely, as per usual on this website.

Anyway, that is the recipe as published.

All I did different was to use just a little less of both sugars and I took a couple handfuls of pecans, coarsely chopped them, and added them in at the end. Or you could add them with the dry ingredients and that would work well and make it easier to blend.

I also break the eggs into the 'wet ingredients' bowl first so I can remove those gross white things from them first.

ETA - I tried to underline Ingredients and Directions but it wouldn't work. Sigh - I think I have it where it's legible anyway. You can copy it to your program and clean it up. I tried!
