APPLE BUTTER BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 8x4x2-inch loaf pan.
• Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cloves in a bowl.
• Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a separate large bowl until smooth. Add the egg and apple butter; continue beating until smooth. Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the raisins and walnuts; mixing just enough to evenly combine. Pour into prepared loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

APPLE BUTTER QUICK BREAD

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees, and lightly grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and salt to combine. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk the oil, sugar and brown sugar until well combined (you may need to switch to a rubber spatula after a bit). Add the eggs one at a time and whisk well after each addition to incorporate. Whisk in the vanilla extract.
• Add the flour mixture and stir just to combine. Add the apple butter and yogurt and mix well to incorporate. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread into an even layer.
• Sprinkle the surface of the loaf generously with turbinado sugar. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool for 20 minutes in the pan, then unmold onto a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 9x5 loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
• Into a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs and buttermilk and whisk well to combine. Add the grated apple, melted butter and vanilla and stir to mix. Add the bran cereal and let it sit for 5 minutes to absorb liquid.
• While you're waiting, in another bowl, combine the dry ingredients. Combine the all purpose flour, oat bran, cane sugar, muscavado, pecans, baking soda, baking powder, sea salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir to mix. Add the wet ingredients in with the dry and stir just to combine, do not overmix.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan, it should come up no more than 3/4 way up the pan. Sprinkle the top of the loaf with a handful of oat bran and brown or turbinado sugar. Bake on the middle rack for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean. Allow it to cool completely before removing it from the pan.
• Slice with a serrated knife and serve with butter on the side.

• Squeeze out any excess moisture from apples with your hands.
• Add shredded apples to the bran mixture and mix well to blend.

Steps:

• Combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl.
• In a small bowl mix 3/4 cup apple butter, apple juice, butter and egg together. Fold in the raisins and chopped nuts. Add the apple butter mixture to the dry ingredients and blend together. Pour half the mixture in a loaf pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Gently spread the reserved 3/4 cup apple butter over the batter. Pour the rest of the batter over the apple butter mixture and spread evenly over the top to cover. Bake at 350 degrees for 55 to 65 minutes or until done.
• To bake "my mistake loaf" just put all the apple butter in the wet ingredients and blend into the dry ingredients. I cut up dried pineapple pieces and added with the nuts instead of the raisins. Pour the whole batter into the loaf pan and bake as above.
• This makes a heavy moist bread that is delicious.
• Any kind of nuts can be used and any kind of dried fruit that your prefer.
• This can be sugar free using Splenda Brown Sugar blend and Margo's Apple Butter recipe using Splenda.
