APPLE WALNUT BREAD (BREAD MACHINE)
This is for a bread machine, but can also be shaped by hand if you desire. I have done this with half white whole wheat flour (King Arthur) and it works well, too. If your machine has a "sweet" setting, use that, as it will keep the high-sugar contents from getting dark too fast.

FRESH APPLE WALNUT BREAD

Steps:
- 1. Make sure the apples are diced and set aside and the nuts are toasted and cooling.
- 2. Heat the 1 cup of milk mixed with the 1 cup of water until just warm, not hot or it will kill the yeast. Add the brown sugar and yeast. Pour this into a large mixing bowl or a standing mixer bowl.
- 3. Add the eggs, apples, nuts and 2 cups of flour. Blend together. Now add the salt. Don't forget the salt! This goes for any breads you make.
- 4. Now continue adding flour until it makes a soft dough. You can use the dough hook of your mixer to do the kneading for you, or you can do it by hand. Add flour if it is too sticky, but please keep in mind, the apples are moist. You could spend forever adding flour and the apples would keep adding moisture. So not too heavy on the flour. But you don't want it too sticky. Just tacky.
- 5. Cover it with plastic and let it rise. Depending on your weather this may take an hour to 2 hours to double in size.
- 6. Cut the dough in half. Now cut each half into thirds. Roll each third out like a snake, but not too long. Just a garter snake. Then braid them together to make 2 loaves. Tuck the ends in and lay them in an oiled bread pan, 9 x 5. Cover again with plastic and let rise about an hour, until peeking over the edge of the pan. Before baking, remove any large apple bits sticking out on top. Gently pick them off or they will burn during baking.
- 7. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brush an egg wash over the loaf and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Make your own blend or use a store bought.
- 8. Bake about 20 minutes, then lower the temperature to 350 and let it finish baking, about another 15-20 minutes.The loaves needs to reach 180-190 degrees inside. If they get too dark on the outside, just tent some aluminum foil over the top until it reaches proper temperature.
- 9. Let cool for the most part before cutting. I like to freeze one loaf and eat one up now. It will be my morning toast. French toast. Bread pudding. Oh, and you can add raisins or cranberries too if you want.
Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. These apples hold their shape well during baking and provide a nice contrast to the sweet bread.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts enhances their flavor and makes them more fragrant. Toast the walnuts in a single layer in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant.
- Use fresh lemon zest: Fresh lemon zest adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the bread. Use a microplane grater to zest the lemon. Avoid using bottled lemon juice, as it doesn't have the same flavor as fresh zest.
- Don't overbake the bread: Overbaking can result in a dry, crumbly bread. Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
Conclusion:
Walnut apple bread is a delicious and easy-to-make quick bread that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. The combination of sweet apples, crunchy walnuts, and warm spices makes this bread irresistible. With its moist, tender crumb and flavorful topping, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
