Apple Butter Bread

"I found this through my electric co-op magazine and boy am I ever glad I did. Truly a nice moist quick bread. The key to this bread is obtaining a dark, rich apple butter - the darker the better for flavor. I used White House Apple Butter which was wonderful and outside of my mom's fresh homemade apple butter it is the best I've tried. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family."

directions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the apple butter, cinnamon and cloves.
  • Whisk in the water, then oil, then brown sugar, then the eggs (not all together). Mix until smooth.
  • Sift together (important so you don't get white lumps in your dark bread), flour, baking soda and salt. Then combine with the apple butter mixture and mix until smooth.
  • Pour into a greased 9-inch loaf pan or 3 to 4 mini-loaf pans.
  • Bake at 350F for 65-70 minutes for the 9-inch pan or 45-50 minutes for the mini-loaves.
  • Let stand for 10-15 minutes to cool slightly before removing from the pans and letting cool completely on a wire rack.

  1. I doubled this recipe. Two 9” pans. Smells amazing and came out perfect!
     
  2. I added chocolate chips and sprinkled some cinnamon and sugar on the top of it before I put it in the oven! Yummy yummy yummy
     
  3. We loved this moist, flavorful fall bread! I used homemade low sugar apple butter, but added every last bit of brown sugar!! Sometimes you just need something sweet!
     
  4. I made this yummy bread for game day yesterday and we all loved it! I used gluten-free flour, but that's the only change I made. It turned out beautifully, tasted wonderful, and reminds me of gingerbread. Definitely a great quick bread for Autumn and the holiday season.
     
  5. Added cinnamon chips throughout & a layer of brown sugar/cinnamon/butter streusel, baked at 375 for 60 min. Honestly, it looked and felt like a brick when I took it out of the oven, but the reviews are fabulous!
