Whenever we have extra apples in the house my teenage son begs me to make Apple Bread. When I do make it, I make two loaves because between the three males in my household, one loaf is gone in a sitting.
Apple Bread
1 1/2 c. flour 1 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. butter, plus 1 T. butter 1/3 c. sugar
1/3 c. milk 3 small apples
2 eggs 2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla 1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg 1/2 tsp. cloves
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and spray a bread pan with cooking spray.
Now take your three small apples and peel, core and dice them.

| We used Red Delicious Apples but you can use any kind you want. |
I dice mine into bite sized chunks.

| Diced apples. |
Now take 1/3 cup of the brown sugar and put it into a small bowl. Stir into the brown sugar, the cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg; then move the bowl out to the side.
 |
| Our brown sugar mixture (brown sugar and spices). |
In a large bowl, mix together the rest of the ingredients together (including the apples). It will make a thick batter.
 |
| The batter will be super thick. Don't worry...it's supposed to look like this. :-) |
Pour 1/2 of the batter into the bread pan and spoon on half of the brown sugar mixture. Pour in the rest of the batter and then sprinkle the rest of the brown sugar mixture on top. Bake for 75 minutes. We like our top to be really crunchy. If you like yours lighter, cut the baking time down by 10 minutes. The crunch of the topping is a really great with the soft, moist inner bites.
