Apple Butter Quick Bread image

Apple butter gives this bread a deep autumnal flavor and helps keep it moist for several days after baking. Whole-wheat flour adds a bit of heartiness to the batter, which can be made using only one bowl and a whisk.

APPLE BUTTER BREAD



Apple Butter Bread image

I found this through my electric co-op magazine and boy am I ever glad I did. Truly a nice moist quick bread. The key to this bread is obtaining a dark, rich apple butter - the darker the better for flavor. I used White House Apple Butter which was wonderful and outside of my mom's fresh homemade apple butter it is the best I've tried. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family.

ENGLISH TOFFEE APPLE BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING



English Toffee Apple Bread and Butter Pudding image

Just in time for autumn and Halloween - this delicious pudding is a real winner, with the subtle taste of toffee and apples all cooked together in a bread and butter pudding! I found this recipe in a cookery leaflet promoting English apples, and it is now one of our favourite puddings for the cooler months. I have given a variety of breads/yeast cakes to use; although I have made this with all of the choices on offer, my favourite still remains the brioche - I am sure croissants would work very well too.

APPLE BUTTER BREAD (TWO RECIPES)



Apple Butter Bread (Two Recipes) image

This recipe comes from the Virginia Apple Growers Assoc site. I have posted the original and my recipe that was a mistake to begin with, but we love it now. I used Apple Butter recipe #93886 from Margo.

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 loaf, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour (I used half whole wheat flour)
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups apple butter (divided)
1/2 cup apple juice
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 egg, beaten
1 cup raisins (optional)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

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.
