Yield 6-8 slices, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups amish starter (see recipezaar.com/321840)
3 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup oil (or 1/2 oil & 1/2 applesauce)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup sugar
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (8 ounce) box instant vanilla pudding (large size)
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons nutmeg
2 granny smith apples, diced
1 cup nuts, chopped (optional)

Steps:

To the batter add the apples, eggs, baking powder, oil, baking soda, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, 1 cup sugar, flour, salt, and nuts (optional).
Note: It is easier to mix if you combine the dry ingredients (except for sugar and pudding) in another bowl then add it slowly to the batter.
Grease bottom and sides of 2 large loaf pans or spray with Pam. Mix ½ cup sugar and 1-1/2 tsp cinnamon in a small bowl. Dust the insides of each of the pans with half of the mixture, making sure to cover the bottom and sides well.
Pour batter evenly into the 2 pans and sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture over top of the batter.
Bake for approximately 1 hour (until toothpick comes out clean.) Cool until the bread loosens from the pan easily. Turn onto serving dish. May be served warm or cold. Enjoy.

Tips:

The complete recipe includes both dry and wet ingredient measurements in US customary and metric formats.
Using a quality cinnamon is essential for achieving the maximum flavor potential in this dish. Saigon cinnamon, in particular, is an excellent choice due to its superior flavor and aroma compared to other varieties.
The recipe recommends using three small loaf pans to bake the bread, but it can also be baked in a 9x13 inch pan or a large Bundt pan if preferred.
If using a bundt pan, greasing and flouring the pan before adding the batter is crucial to ensure easy release of the bread after baking.
For an extra special touch, consider topping the baked bread with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk.
