Apple Breakfast Bread

By Karins_Cookin

I made this recipe exactly as directed, except that I made it as muffins to cut bake time for a special Valentine's Day breakfast. Turned out delicious! Just before putting them in the oven, I sprinkled turbinado sugar on top. I baked them for 20 minutes at 375 degrees and they turned out perfect. Made 18 muffins.

*if bread is a little dry, add a little bit of oil*

Ingredients

• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Lightly grease an 8x4 inch loaf pan.
In a bowl, mix the butter and sugar until smooth and creamy. Beat in the eggs.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cloves. Mix into the butter mixture until moistened. Fold in the apples. Transfer to the prepared loaf pan.

Bake 1 hour in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
