Hearty Apple Loaf Recipes

APPLE CAKE LOAF

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F(177°C). Grease 8 1/2 * 4 1/2 inch (21,5*10,5cm) loaf pan and line the bottom and sides with parchment paper, about 2 inches(5 cm) of overhang on each side. If you like, you can grease and flour the dish instead of parchment paper.
• Peel and core the apples. Grate 2 of the apples and place in a bowl, set a side. Chop 1 apple into almost ⅕ inch (5cm) thick pieces and mix in the lemon juice. Set a side.
• Roughly chop the walnuts into small pieces, set aside.
• Place the flour, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, baking powder (and salt if using) into a medium bowl and mix. Set aside.
• Put the sugar and eggs in a large bowl and mix with a whisk until just combined.
• Mix in the olive oil and vanilla extract, stir with a whisk until just combined.
• Add the shredded apples and stir with a whisk.
• Mix in the flour mixture in 2 batches. You can use a whisk in the beginning but it is easier to continue with a spoon/spatula in the end to mix easily.
• Add the chopped apples and stir with a spoon/spatula. Mix in the walnuts.
• Pour the batter into the loaf pan. The mixture is not thin but not too thick. You can spoon the mixture into the pan.
• Bake for 50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick comes out completely clean that is inserted in the center. After you remove the pan from the oven, leave in the pan until it completely cools, almost 1 and 1/2 hour before cutting into slices. You shouldn't skip this step so you can cut the slices properly.

• Line a 2lb loaf tin with greasproof paper.

• This cake is best left until the next day to eat (if you can wait that long!).
