Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup firmly packed dried apricots, chopped
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
2 Granny Smith apples
1/4 cup fresh orange juice

Steps:

  • In a small bowl combine well the apricots, the walnuts, the brown sugar, and the butter. Core the apples, making each opening large enough to hold half the apricot mixture, peel the top third of each apple, and fill the cavities with the apricot mixture. Arrange the apples in a deep 2 1/2-quart microwave-safe baking dish so that they do not touch one another or the sides of the dish, pour the orange juice around them, and microwave the apples, covered with microwave-safe plastic wrap, on high power (100%) for 7 minutes. Pierce the plastic wrap with the tip of a sharp knife and let the apples stand, covered, for 5 minutes, or until they are tender.

Tips:

  • For a moister loaf, use a combination of butter and vegetable oil. Butter will add flavor, while vegetable oil will help keep the loaf moist.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough loaf.
  • Add the fruit and nuts last, and mix gently just until combined. This will prevent the fruit and nuts from sinking to the bottom of the loaf.
  • Bake the loaf until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the loaf is cooked through.
  • Let the loaf cool completely before slicing and serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and the loaf to set.

Conclusion:

Apple, apricot, and walnut loaf is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover fruit and nuts. With its moist texture and sweet-tart flavor, this loaf is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
