Apple Nut Bread

[Qanisqineq]

I love quickbreads: apple, banana, pumpkin, etc., so please respond with recipes! This one is probably my favorite.

Apple Nut Bread

1/2 c. butter or margarine
3/4 c. sugar
2 eggs
1/4 c. milk
1 c. grated apple, peeled (I like using Granny Smith)
2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c. chopped walnuts (or pecans)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Cream butter and sugar until smooth in a large bowl. Add eggs and beat until light. Stir in milk and apple until well blended. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Add to creamed mixture and stir just until blended. Do not overmix. Stir in nuts.

Pour mixture into greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Bake at 375 degreees for 50-60 minutes. Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto rack to finish cooling.

Option: you can add raisins with the nuts.
