It's apple season!! This recipe is absolutely delicious. As always, Elise of Simply Recipes totally rocks it. I adjusted the recipe for sugar and quantity to fill a different type of container. I use a stoneware container with two mini-loaves. I believe this recipe will work for one regular loaf, or cut it in half for a 9" pie pan.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup of sucanat (or equal parts sugar)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 11 Tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup skim milk
- 1 medium apple, peeled and sliced
- Preheat oven to 375 and butter the loaf pans or pie pan.
- In a small separate bowl, combine 1/2 c of sucanat and all of the cinnamon. You'll use this later.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt.
- In an electric mixer blend the butter and remaining sucanat. Add egg and mix until combined. In three alternating parts, add the flour mixture and milk. Between each addition allow the mixture to combine completely.
- Split your batter to allow the apples and cinnamon-sucanat to be added in the middle. For a single loaf pan or pie pan, add half of the batter first. Then add a layer of sliced apples, being careful not to allow them to reach the edge of the pan (if they do, the bread will not stick together well when cooked). Then sprinkle a layer of cinnamon-sucanat on the apples. Then pour the remaining batter on top of the apples, and sprinkle the top with more cinnamon-sucanat.
- Bake for about 30 minutes.
