AWESOME APPLE BREAD



Awesome Apple Bread image

This bread is so moist and flavorful that my kids even eat the ends, which for most quick breads I usually have to throw away. At Christmas, I make the mini loaves and give as gifts to my neighbors. The oil can be replaced with 1 cup of unsweetened applesauce. Still flavorful but not quite as moist. If possible, don't skip the walnuts, they really add to it.

KIDS CAN BAKE: APPLE BREAD



Kids Can Bake: Apple Bread image

For this bread that's chock-full of apples, don't stray too far from the McIntosh variety they soften just enough without completely disappearing. For little kids: Let them help mix up the apples. For big kids: Teach them how to peel an apple and sift dry ingredients.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 small McIntosh apples, peeled and cut into rough 1/4-inch chunks (about 4 cups)
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Cooking spray
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
2/3 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Work the apples, sugar and lemon zest together in a large bowl with your hands until the sugar feels like wet sand. Let the mixture sit, tossing occasionally, for 30 minutes (the sugar will have started to melt but will still be gritty).
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously coat a 10-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Sift the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt together onto a large piece of parchment. Whisk together the oil, eggs and vanilla in a medium bowl.
  • Once the apples are ready, add the flour mixture to them, and fold until combined. Pour in the oil mixture, and fold until just combined (it's OK if there are a few lumps). Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to settle and even out the batter.
  • Bake the bread until the top is golden brown and bounces back when pressed (if you insert a toothpick into the center, it's OK if there are a few crumbs), 55 to 60 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a cooling rack until cool enough to handle. Invert the bread out of the pan, and serve warm or at room temperature.

PENZEY'S APPLE BREAD



Penzey's Apple Bread image

Makes 2 loaves

Provided by Lisa Johnson

Categories     Sweet Breads

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 c apples, peeled , cored and chopped
4 large eggs, beaten
1 c canola oil
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
3 c all purpose flour
2 c white sugar
TOPPING
3/4 c all purpose flour
1/4 c sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 c butter, room temperature

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease two standard bread loaf pans and set aside. Peel, core and slice the apples. Cut into good-sized chunks, about 1 inch in size
  • 2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer until fluffy.
  • 3. Add the oil and beat until combined.
  • 4. Add the VANILLA EXTRACT, baking soda, salt and CINNAMON. Beat until thoroughly mixed
  • 5. Next, add the flour and sugar and mix on low just to blend. Turn the mixer to high and beat until mixture is smooth. The batter will be very thick, almost like cookie dough.
  • 6. Fold in the chopped apples, mixing by hand with a spoon so the apples do not get broken up. Divide the mixture between the two pans. Since the batter is so thick, it is easiest to spoon the batter into the pans
  • 7. To prepare the topping, combine flour, sugar and PENZEYS CINNAMON in a small bowl.
  • 8. Cut the butter into the mixture with a fork until all ingredients are moist and crumbly. If you don't mind a little mess, it is faster to use your hands.
  • 9. Sprinkle equal amounts of topping on each loaf. Bake for about 1 hour on the center rack of the oven.
  • 10. The loaf should feel fairly firm when touched in the middle; if not, bake an extra 5 minutes
  • 11. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pans. It is easier to slice the bread if you can wait until it is at least mostly cool.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, crisp apples. This will give your bread the best flavor and texture.
  • Peel and core your apples before grating them. This will help to prevent the bread from becoming too dense.
  • Grate your apples using the large holes of a box grater. This will create small, even pieces that will distribute evenly throughout the bread.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough bread.
  • Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the bread is cooked through.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Apple bread is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. It's also a great way to use up extra apples. With so many different recipes to choose from, there's sure to be an apple bread recipe that you'll love.
