TEENY MCMUNN: MY RECIPE BOX

I haven't had time to make this, but it's on my list. I like apple anything, mostly with raisins and walnuts. This would be a good sweet bread to have on hand in case someone drops by, for dessert, or for breakfast, tho I would add scrambled eggs to go with it. Some of you may add yogurt.

INGREDIENTS:

½ c. butter ½ tsp salt

1 c. sugar 1 tsp ground cinnamon

2 eggs ½ tsp ground cloves

2 c. flour 2 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped.

1 tsp baking soda

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 8 x 4 inch loaf pan

In a bowl, mix the butter and sugar until smooth and creamy. Beat in the eggs.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cloves. Mix into the butter mixture until moistened. Fold in the apples. Transfer to the prepared pan.

Bake 1 hour until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

MY NOTES:

I will add raisins and nuts. I saw someone added some cardamom so I think I will also. I probably will double the recipe, so I have an extra loaf. The Honey Crisp apples I've had recently are full of juice so I will add an extra tablespoon or two of flour.

ENJOY
