APPLE-MOLASSES BREAD
APPLE-BREAD - A simple, fragrant apple nut raisin bread
I found this recipe on the back of a label for a baking loaf
pan. It is easy to make and because of the molasses it is
very fragrant while baking.
INGREDIENTS (1 large loaf)
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1 cup applesauce
1/4 cup dark molasses (treacle)
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped nuts
PROCEDURE
(1) Preheat oven to 350 deg. F.
(2) In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until
light and fluffy.
(3) Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each
addition.
(4) Combine flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and
nutmeg; set aside. Combine applesauce and
molasses.
(5) Add dry ingredients alternately with applesauce
mixture to egg mixture. Fold in raisins and nuts.
(6) Pour into a greased 9 1/4x5 1/4x2 3/4 inch loaf
pan. Bake at 350 deg. F for 1 hour, or until a
toothpick inserted into the center comes out
clean. Cool 10 minutes, remove from pan and con-
tinue cooling on a wire rack.
RATING
Difficulty: easy. Time: 15 minutes preparation, 1 hour bak-
ing, 30 minutes cooling. Precision: measure the
ingredients.
