Bread-Bakers v117.n017.1

Hi:

I always check sources on recipes in which I have an interest to make 
sure ingredients, etc are same as original. The "Apple Pie Bread" 
recipe didn't specify a website, so I searched and found this variation.

[ Editor's note: we added the link for Apple Pie Bread in the archives:

It's called "Apple Pie Bread #Sunday Supper".

FOR THE CREAM CHEESE DRIZZLE:


    * 1/4 cup cream cheese
    * 1 tablespoon sugar

Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan; 
set aside.

For the topping:

    1. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and flour. Using a pastry 
blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
    2. Stir in walnuts or pecans (if using)

For the bread:

    1. In a large bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to 
high speed for 30 seconds. Beat in sugar until combined.
    2. Add buttermilk and baking powder; beat until combined.
    3. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until combined.
    4. Add flour, apple pie spice mix and salt; beat until combined.
    5. Stir in apple, nuts(if using), and raisins (or currants). Spoon 
batter into prepared pan; spread evenly.
    6. Sprinkle streusel topping over batter and bake for 60 to 65 minutes 
or until a wooden toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
    7. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan. Let 
it cool for further 20 minutes and in the meantime, make the cream 
cheese glaze.

For the cream cheese drizzle:

    1. Beat the cream cheese and sugar until well blended. Add in the milk 
one teaspoon at a time and beat until you get spreadable consistency.
