Apple Butter Bread
Fall is creeping up on us. Although it’s not coming fast enough for me. It is still 90 degrees and miserably hot! I wanted to make something with what is remaining of my apple butter. You know, because I’m planning on making more come apple season. So I found an Apple Butter Bread recipe to try. It was a hit! Actually, it made me wish for Fall all the more. It’s full of Fall flavors and so comforting with a cup of coffee. Or however, you would eat it.
Next, I’m baking my Pumpkin Bread. Don’t tell, but I also bake it all year. Yes, I know I have a problem with all things Fall, pumpkin and Christmas.
UPDATE: My Slow Cooker Apple Butter Recipe
Who doesn’t love apple butter? Ok, so maybe one person out there doesn’t but in my house we love it! So why not incorporate it into a bread. Or cake.
You know the drill, right? Whisk the dry ingredients in one bowl. Cream the butter and sugar. Add eggs and some of the buttermilk. Add half of the dry mixture, then the rest of the buttermilk. Ending with the remaining dry ingredients. Stir in the apple butter, pour into prepared pan and bake.
Allow the bread to cool completely.
Drizzle on the glaze. Or not it’s your choice.
Slice and eat. That’s it. We hope you enjoy this, we certainly did!
