You can now see all the leftover food that you have to use before it goes bad.
Do you happen to have a few apples hanging around after baking up those delicious apple pies?
I made 5 apple pies and 3 apple cheesecakes this year.
So I have a few apples to spare.
There is a bakery in Pella, IA (Jarrsma Bakery) and they make the most delicious apple bread I have ever eaten in my entire life! It is studded with walnuts and has a caramel icing on the top.
Just thinking about it makes me want to jump in my car right this moment and drive the 30 minutes just to buy a loaf (that I am totally capable of inhaling by myself on the drive home. Sadly, it is true - although I haven't ever actually done it. I just know I could because it is that good).
Well, I would love to know how to make that delicious bread.
I have tried several different bread recipes and nothing seems to compare to that wonderfulness that I can buy for around $3, which is totally worth it, by the way!
I happen to own a few "old" cookbooks. Thanks to me and my family picking them up whenever we are "antiquing" while on vacation. When I say old, I mean it. Most are early 1900's up through the 50's. I have a lot of newly released cookbooks as well, but something about those worn pages with notes written in with pencil in beautiful cursive that nobody writes in anymore, just make me so happy!
Plus, the way these recipes are written makes them virtually extinct now due to modernization of practically everything!
Well, I was craving that bread from the bakery, so I set out on a mission to find an apple bread recipe that I haven't tried yet.
I stumbled upon this one and it is sooooo freaking tasty.
I have made apple fritters before, and this tastes like those in slice form!
Now go peel and dice up those spare one or two apples you have and make this delicious bread for breakfast in the morning. You will not be disappointed!
