Apple Pumpkin Bread

Here’s a new recipe I tried a couple weeks ago. It has all the goodies of fall: apples, pumpkin and spices. Your home will smell better than any candle while it’s baking, and it’s wonderful toasted and spread with butter. It’s perfect for breakfast with a cup of tea or coffee, or as an afternoon snack.

RECIPE  

Yield :  2 loaves

Ingredients: 

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Grease the bottom and 1/2 inch up sides of two 9x5x3-inch, three 8x4x2-inch, or four 7 1/2×3 1/2×2-inch loaf pans.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine whole wheat and all-purpose flour, spices, baking soda and salt; set aside.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar and applesauce. Mix well. Add eggs; beat well.
  5. Alternately add flour mixture and apple cider to sugar mixture, mixing after each addition just until combined.
  6. Beat in pumpkin. Fold in apples and nuts. Pour batter into prepared pans; spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes for the 9×5-inch loaves, 45 to 50 minutes for the 8×4-inch loaves or 40 to 45 minutes for the 7 1/2×3-inch loaves, or until a toothpick inserted near centers comes out clean.
  8. Cool in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove from pans. Cool completely on wire racks. Wrap in foil and store overnight before slicing.

Enjoy!
