APPLE CIDER PUMKIN BREAD

Steps:

• 1. Cream the wet ingredients all together
• 2. Sift the dry ingredients together including the Instant Hot Apple Cider Drink Mix
• 3. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat for 2 minutes. Stir in the pumpkin seeds and craisins.
• 4. Pour batter into 9 greased mini loaf pans or two 9X5 loaf pans. (I spray some Pam in each pan but you can use whatever you like to grease them) Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes for the mini pans and 1 hour for the larger loaf pans. Use a cake tester or toothpick to test for doneness.
• 5. Mix the powdered sugar and milk into a thick consistancy and drizzle over the loaves and top with a few pumpkin seeds and craisins. Omit this step if your plan on freezing for future use and add it later when you are ready to serve. This recipe freezes well and I usually double wrap each loaf.
• 6. NOTE: you can add any kind of nuts or dried fruits in lieu of the pumpkin seeds and craisins. I have used chopped pecans and dates, walnuts and raisins, chopped dried mango and pineapple with pecans etc. Use your imagination and have fun!
