HURRICANE APPLE BREAD This is a recipe I obtained from an estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from the Crawford Estate in Quinlan, Texas in 1982. “After the devastating hurricane which swept New England in the late Fall of 1938, many, many apples were left lying on the ground, the trees having succumbed to the fury of the storm,” writes Miss Meg Gammons, Attleboro, Mass.

It is wonderful sliced thin, while piping hot from the oven, and spread with sweet cream butter. With a hot cup of tea, it makes a grand luncheon in itself.” Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter |
1 cup sugar |
1 egg |
2 cups flour |
1/3 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
1 cup peeled cut up sweet apple |
1/2 cup milk |
1/4 cup chopped raw cranberries if tart taste is desired |

Put apples into a standard measuring cup. 5. Add apples to dry mixture then blend with milk and egg mixture. 6. Pour into a well oiled loaf pan and bake at 350 for 50 minutes. |
