APPLE BUTTER QUICK BREAD

Apple butter gives this bread a deep autumnal flavor and helps keep it moist for several days after baking. Whole-wheat flour adds a bit of heartiness to the batter, which can be made using only one bowl and a whisk.

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup/130 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 cup/60 grams whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup/120 milliliters vegetable, or other neutral, oil
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar
1/2 cup/110 grams dark brown sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup/180 milliliters apple butter
1/4 cup/60 milliliters plain yogurt
Turbinado sugar, as needed, for finishing

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees, and lightly grease a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg and salt to combine. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the oil, sugar and brown sugar until well combined (you may need to switch to a rubber spatula after a bit). Add the eggs one at a time and whisk well after each addition to incorporate. Whisk in the vanilla extract.
  • Add the flour mixture and stir just to combine. Add the apple butter and yogurt and mix well to incorporate. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread into an even layer.
  • Sprinkle the surface of the loaf generously with turbinado sugar. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Let cool for 20 minutes in the pan, then unmold onto a cooling rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 loaf, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, softened
1 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 egg
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup apple butter
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon clove
1/2 cup pecans

Steps:

  • Cream butter and sugar. Add egg and beat well. Combine buttermilk and soda. Combine flour and spices. Add alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour. Stir in apple butter and pecans.
  • Pour into greased and floured 9 x 5 x 3-inch loaf pan. Bake at 350*F for 1 hour or until wooden pick inserted comes out clean. Cool in pan for 5 minutes; remove to wire rack and cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use ripe apples for the best flavor. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
  • Peel and core the apples before cooking them. This will help to remove any bitterness from the skin and core.
  • Cook the apples until they are very soft. This will help to create a smooth, spreadable butter.
  • Add spices to taste. Common spices used in apple butter include cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
  • Simmer the apple butter until it has reached the desired consistency. This can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  • Let the apple butter cool completely before storing it. This will help to prevent spoilage.
  • Store the apple butter in a cool, dark place. It will keep for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

Apple butter is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, waffles, pancakes, or ice cream. It can also be used as a filling for pies and cakes. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make your own apple butter at home. So next time you have a few extra apples on hand, give this recipe a try!
