Apple Blueberry Quick Bread Recipes

APPLE-BLUEBERRY BUCKLE

Steps:

• Place apples in a large bowl and toss with 3/4 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cover the bowl and place in refrigerator.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Beat softened butter and 3/4 cup white sugar together in a large bowl until creamy; beat in egg.
• Mix 2 cups flour, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl. Stir flour mixture into butter mixture, alternating with milk, until fully incorporated. Fold in blueberries.
• Arrange apples in a single layer in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour blueberry batter over apples.
• Mix 2/3 cup sugar, 1/2 cup flour, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon together in a bowl; cut in cold butter until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle crumb topping over batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the buckle comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

BLUEBERRY BREAD I

Steps:

• Mix together beaten eggs with the sugar. Add milk and melted shortening or vegetable oil.
• Sift together flour, salt, and baking powder. Combine mixtures, stirring only until blended. Carefully fold in fresh or frozen blueberries and broken walnut pieces.
• Pour into greased 5 x 12 inch loaf pan. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 50-60 minutes. Cool in pan but try to turn it out of pan before it is totally cool. It will be easier to remove. Can also be made in a normal size loaf pan or can be made into 2 pans.

BLUEBERRY QUICK BREAD

BANANA - APPLESAUCE - BLUEBERRY AND WALNUT FAT-FREE QUICK BREAD

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 350.
• Spray two 8 x 4 loaf pans with non-stick spray.
• In large bowl, blend together bananas, lemon juice, applesauce and brown sugar. I use a hand-held blender, which purres everything quickly and evenly.
• In another large bowl, wisk together dry ingredients.
• Add to dry mixture blueberries and nuts and toss until flour coated. This helps to prevent the berries and nuts from settling to the bottom during baking.
• Add flour-berry/nut mixture to the moist-banana mixture. Mix together by hand folding contents until all is moistened being careful not to overmix.
• Divide final mixture into the two loaf pans, spreading contents evenly. Place in oven center for about 35 to 40 minutes, until tooth pick comes out clean and the tops are lightly golden brown. I've found the tooth pick test happens first but wait about 5 or so more minutes for the tops to brown.
• Remove from oven and cool. Even better when served the next day. I cut the loaves into 1 inch thick slices, serving 2 per person.
• I've also substitued coarsely chopped sweet cherries (1 cup) and cinnamon (1 tsp) for the blueberries and cardamom. Very, Very good too, for all those cherry lovers out there!
