Apple Bread

I still have some apples I need to use up and I noted this recipe on a recent Tasty Tuesday. I needed to bake something just to help warm the house a bit!

Apple Bread-adapted from Pillsbury
1 1/2 cups shredded apple
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup oil
1/4 cup applesauce
4 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups ap flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup chopped pecans(optional)
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground nutmeg

Mix together apple, sugar, buttermilk, oil, applesauce, and eggs. Combine dry ingredients and mix well. Add into apple mixture and stir until combined.

Grease just the bottoms of two bread pans. Pour in batter and bake for 45-55 mins at 350 degrees or until toothpick comes out clean.

**This bread was really moist and delicious! Mine was done at 40 mins and probably could have been done around 30 or 35 mins, it is very dark bread.
