bake time: 40 minutes
loaves: 2 servings: 32
Ingredients:
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
dash of nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon (or less) of salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 cups sugar (actually, I cut the sugar in have and added about 3/4 cup applesauce instead)
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups apples (any variety) - peeled, cored and coarsely chopped
dash or two of milk
1 cup broken walnuts (pecans work well too)
Directions:
- In small bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder and salt; set aside.
- In large mixing bowl, place oil, sugar, applesauce, eggs, vanilla and apples. Mix.
- Stir in flour mixture slowly. Batter will be ultra thick. If too thick, add a couple tablespoons of milk so that batter is still thick and not runny.
- Add walnuts and mix.
Divide mixture between two greased bread pans. - Bake at 350degrees for 40-45 minutes or until bread tests done (does the knife come out clean?)
- Cool for 10 minutes on wire rack before removing from pan.
