Categories     Sweet Breads

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 c unbleached white flour
1 c fine white whole wheat flour such as prairie gold
1/2 c sugar (organic evaporated cane juice)
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1/2 c oat bran
1 c apples, chopped (granny smith or fuji are good)
1 c milk
2 Tbsp lemon juice (or apple cider vinegar)
1 large egg
1/4 c light oil (sunflower, safflower...)

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease a standard 9x5 loaf pan. Mix milk and lemon juice or vinegar togther and leave to coddle.
  • 2. Whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a medium mixing bowl.
  • 3. Peel, core, and chop the apples. Toss in with the flour mixture until well coated.
  • 4. Whisk the egg with the coddled milk and the oil.
  • 5. Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients. Gently stir and fold the ingredients until all the flour has been incorporated and a shaggy, wet batter is formed. Be careful not to over-mix.
  • 6. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and pat it into the corners. Bake for 45-50 minutes. When finished, the loaf should be domed and golden, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 15 minutes before removing and slicing.
  • 7. After they are completely cooled, wrap baked loaves tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature. (I just use the cheapest gallon size twist-tie type food storage bags.) Baked loaves can also be wrapped in plastic and aluminum foil and frozen for up to three months.
  • 8. I've been thinking of making this with an additional 3 ounces of milk (so milk & vinegar total 1 1/2 cups) as it can get a bit dryish if not eaten within one day, which happens as several of us are obliged to be gluten or grain free, but haven't done so yet.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Unsalted butter, for greasing the pan
2 cups/255 grams all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of ground cloves

1/2 cup/120 milliliters unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar
1/2 cup/110 grams packed dark brown sugar
3 large eggs
1 large Granny Smith apple, unpeeled and shredded (about 1 cup)
1 cup/240 milliliters apple cider
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup/60 grams confectioners' sugar
Pinch of kosher salt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour an 8 1/2-inch-by-4 1/2-inch loaf pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg and cloves. In a large bowl, whisk together the oil, applesauce, sugars, eggs and apple.

Continue to cook the cider until it has reduced to 1/3 cup, about 10 minutes. Add the butter, confectioners' sugar and salt. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer and continue to cook the mixture, whisking often, until it has become syrupy and thickened slightly, about 4 minutes. Set aside to cool until it thickens slightly.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the cake, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh apples: Fresh apples provide the best flavor and texture for this bread. If you don't have fresh apples, you can use frozen or canned apples, but the bread will not be as flavorful.
  • Peel and core the apples before grating them: This will help to ensure that the bread has a smooth texture.
  • Grate the apples using a large-hole grater: This will help to create a chunky texture in the bread.
  • Use a combination of spices: The combination of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice gives this bread a warm and inviting flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread in a loaf pan until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the bread is cooked through.
  • Let the bread cool before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
