I've been seriously been itching to get back into the kitchen and bake, though. Luckily, I did get a chance to bake a delicious Pumpkin Apple Bread just this last weekend. Pumpkin bread on its own is good, but adding apples to it is even better! And as an added bonus, the bread while baking gives off an warm, fuzzy, pumpkiny, fall aroma. To get a better idea of what I'm talking about, go ahead and make one for yourself and a loved one!
**Because it's only the pre-husband and I in the house, I actually cut this recipe in half and used one loaf pan. Luckily everything could be easily be divided!**
What You Need
Topping
-1 tablespoon flour
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
Bread
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 1 15oz. can pumpkin puree
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 1/4 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 2 granny smith apples: peeled, cored, and chopped
What You Do
Topping
1. Blend together everything with your fingers until mixed thoroughly. Set aside.
Bread
1. Preheat your oven to 350 and grease two 9X5 inch loaf pans.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the flour (3cups), salt (3/4tsp), baking soda (2tsp), cinnamon (1 1/2 tsp), nutmeg (1tsp), and allspice (1/4tsp).
3. In a large bowl, mix the pumpkin puree (15oz. can), vegetable oil (3/4 cup), sugar (2 1/4cup), and eggs (4) until blended.
4. Add in the dry ingredients, and mix until combined.
5. Fold in the apples until evenly incorporated. Divide the batter evenly between the pans and sprinkle the topping evenly between the two. Bake for 60 minutes, or until the knife comes out clean when inserted into the middle.
6. Let cool completely. Then prepare some tea, cut up a slice or two, curl up on the couch, and enjoy your favorite movie!
