The Stitching Thread

Fall is time for apple picking. Here is a favorite recipe of mine for some Apple Bread which you might like to try:

• 1/2 cup butter

• 1 1/4 cups sugar

• 2 eggs

• 2 cups flour

• 2 teaspoons baking powder

• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

• 1 1/2 cups peeled, grated apple

• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and beat well.

In a separate bowl, mix together the dry ingredients then add to the creamed mixture.

Fold in the grated apples and walnuts.

Pour into a greased and floured  9″ x 5″ x 2.5″ loaf pan and sprinkle a bit of sugar and cinnamon on top.

Bake at 350 degrees for one hour.

Cool for 10 minutes in the loaf pan, then turn onto a wire rack to cool. 

Great with a cup of coffee on a Sunday morning.
