Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 cup butter -- at room temperature
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs -- well beaten
2 cups all-purpose flour -- (see note)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/4 cup sour cream
2 cups apples -- diced small
2/3 cup sliced almonds -- chopped, plus additional
1/3 cup for sprinkling over top, if desired
Rum Raisin Cream Cheese:
8 ounces cream cheese -- softened
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon molasses
1/2 teaspoon rum extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch cloves -- or 2
3/4 cup raisins -- chopped (I used golden)
Note: You can replace 1/2 of the all-purpose flour with King Arthur
White Whole Wheat, if you want.
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour and 8 x 5" loaf pan.
Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves,
nutmeg and salt; set aside.
Beat butter and sugars together until fluffy then beat in eggs.
Add flour mixture to egg mixture in three batches, alternating with
milk and lastly sour cream. Add a spoon of flour to the apples and
toss to coat to help prevent them from sinking to the bottom. Stir in
apples and almonds. The batter will be stiff.
Spoon into prepared pan and sprinkle almonds over top. Bake for 55 to
60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean
and top is nicely browned. Cool thoroughly; best not to slice when warm.
Rum Raisin Cream Cheese: In a medium bowl beat cream cheese with a
hand mixer on low until light and fluffy. Beat in brown sugar,
molasses, extracts, cinnamon and cloves. Stir in raisins.
Description:
"A sweetly spiced apple bread with a mosaic of fresh, diced
apples and crunchy almonds."
