Carrot Apple Bread - Easy Kraft Recipes

Carrot Apple Bread

I modified the canonical ratios from Cream Cheese-Filled Squash Wampum, a personal and fan preferred, to excrete way for grated carrots and apples. I grated the carrot and apple by jack using the coarsest arm on a box grater. It literally takes two transactions and I'd pay often statesman indication lavation substance processor parts than apace doing it the old-fashioned way.

It's an prosperous, no mixer instruction that goes from structure to oven in transactions. I misused molten food oil so there's no butter to take and no mixer to black. Oil keeps cabbage softer and springier than butter, and I favor the savour. Food oil adds a nearly imperceptible substance that's sweeter and much fragrant than canola or stemlike oil, but hitter with them if you'd same

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 large egg
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 1/3 cup liquid-state coconut oil (canola or vegetable may be substituted)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup cup sour cream (lite is okay; or Greek yogurt may be substituted)
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2  teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2  teaspoon baking soda
• pinch salt, optional and to taste
• 3/4 cup grated carrots (about 1 large peeled and trimmed carrot)
• 3/4 cup grated apples (I used 1 medium unpeeled Fuji; try Gala, Honeycrisp or similar)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Spray one 9×5-inch loaf pan with floured cooking spray, or grease and flour the pan; set aside. (I haven’t tried the recipe in an 8×4-inch pan and cannot comment on how long it will take to bake, but use an 8×4 pan if you prefer a taller loaf.)

2. In a large bowl, add the the first eight ingredients, through nutmeg, and whisk to combine.

3. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, optional salt, and fold with spatula or stir gently with a spoon until just combined; don’t overmix.

4. Add the carrots, apples, and fold gently to combine.

5. Turn batter (it’s very thick, this is what you want) out into the prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.

6. Bake for about 45 to 52 minutes (I baked 50 minutes) or until the top is golden, the center is set, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. Tip – Tent the pan with a sheet of foil draped loosely over it at the 35 minute-mark if you feel the tops and sides will become too browned before center cooks through. Baking times will vary based on moisture content of carrots, apples, climate, and oven variances. Bake until done; watch your bread, not the clock and don’t worry if it takes longer to bake than the baking estimates provided.

7. Allow bread to cool in pan for about 15 minutes before turning out on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving. Optionally, serve with or glaze with Honey Butter, Cinnamon-Sugar Butter, or Vanilla Bean Browned Butter Glaze. Bread will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
