• Yields: 6-8 slices
• Serves: 6-8

ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 cups amish starter (see recipezaar.com/321840)
• 3 eggs
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 cup oil (or 1/2 oil & 1/2 applesauce)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄2 cup milk
• 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 cups flour
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1 (8 ounce) box instant vanilla pudding (large size)
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons nutmeg
• 2 granny smith apples, diced
• 1 cup nuts, chopped (optional)

directions

1. To the batter add the apples, eggs, baking powder, oil, baking soda, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, 1 cup sugar, flour, salt, and nuts (optional).
2. Note: It is easier to mix if you combine the dry ingredients (except for sugar and pudding) in another bowl then add it slowly to the batter.
3. Grease bottom and sides of 2 large loaf pans or spray with Pam. Mix ½ cup sugar and 1-1/2 tsp cinnamon in a small bowl. Dust the insides of each of the pans with half of the mixture, making sure to cover the bottom and sides well.
4. Pour batter evenly into the 2 pans and sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture over top of the batter.
5. Bake for approximately 1 hour (until toothpick comes out clean.) Cool until the bread loosens from the pan easily. Turn onto serving dish. May be served warm or cold. Enjoy.
