Although she's stinkin cute, the attention was really drawn to the dessert bread and I don't blame you! This apple bread came from a recipe that Aubrey made with her class in preschool last year. Now most of the time your 4 year old comes running to you with a baggy of something yelling "mommy! I made this for you!," its edibility is questionable. "Oh! How nice!" I responded, and took a look at the recipe attached. Looked safe enough so I took a bite. Oh. My. Goodness. By far the best apple bread I've ever had-clearly a teacher had a hand in this. I looked at the recipe and decided replicating it was worth a shot, even though I'm usually skeptical of recipes that only consist of one step: "mix all ingredients." They never turn out right because frankly, baking is more complicated than that. Well, ladies and gents, I have good news: it really is THAT easy.
I was hesitant to post this recipe, due to the nature of my previous posts...but the demand was high and I'd be wrong not to share. This bread is straight up dessert, so please treat it accordingly : ). It does NOT count as a "healthy, on the go, breakfast," but hey...the point is everything in moderation, right?
Furthermore, it gave me a good excuse to actually type up the recipe and to toss the little piece of paper that has managed to survive the last year.
Wow. Truly pathetic. Whatever, it's well loved. Anyways, here ya go:
Festive Apple Bread
Ingredients:
1 egg
1 cup sugar
1 stick of butter
Dash of salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cups of flour
1 tsp cinnamon
2 cups fresh apples, diced
Mix all the ingredients. The batter will be thick. Bake it in a loaf pan (or any type of pan, really-I've done cupcake size, mini loaf and giant muffin size) for 45 minutes (closer to an hour in my oven) at 325 degrees. Give the bread and the pan as a gift (awww isn't that sweet! Be sure to take a bite first though-your friends will understand).
Enjoy and as always, let me know if you have any questions!
