Apple Loaf
With a large abundance of apples on hand all year round, here is a recipe that is tender and has a delicate apple flavor.
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup apples, peeled, cored, and shredded on a grater
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease one 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
Mix together flour, baking powder, soda salt, and nuts.
In a large bowl, beat butter, sugar, and 1 egg until smooth. Beat in second egg and stir in vanilla. Stir in shredded apples. Pour flour mixture into batter; stir just until moistened. Spread into prepared pan.
Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes, them remove from pan. Place on a rack to cool. Makes 1 loaf. Enjoy!
