Every year when the apples are ready for picking, my husband says, How about making a loaf of that apple bread? This recipe featuring pecans came from a friend and has received many blue ribbons. Ingredients:
3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1-1/8 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 eggs |
1-1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar, divided |
1 cup canola oil |
3 cups chopped peeled tart apples |
1 cup chopped pecans |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and salt. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs, 1-1/2 cups sugar and oil. Stir in apples; let stand for 5 minutes. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in pecans.
2. Pour into two greased and floured 8-in. x 4-in. loaf pans. Combine remaining sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over batter. Bake at 350° for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Yield: 2 loaves (12 slices each).
