My heart belongs to quick breads...

Silly title, really, but it is so true.

I love quick breads...banana, pumpkin, zucchini and my newest favorite...apple!

I made two loaves yesterday.

The girls and I knocked out an entire loaf in one day and we just sliced up numero dos.

It isn't some tremendous, earth shattering recipe.

Just found it in the ol' Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book.  Something I got as a wedding gift.

I mean, Matt and I got it as a wedding gift.  I've probably gotten more use out of it though.  :)

Make it now.  So delicious.

Apple Bread

1 1/2 C flour

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1 beaten egg

1 C sugar

1 1/2 C chopped, peeled apple

1/4 C cooking oil

1/2 C walnuts or pecans (if desired...desired by me but no one else around here....sigh)

1. Grease the bottom and 1/2 inch up sides of an 8x4x2-inch loaf pan; set aside.  In a medium bowl combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, baking powder, and nutmeg.  Make a well in the center of flour mixture; set aside.

2. In another medium bowl combine egg, sugar, apple, and oil.  Add apple mixture to flour mixture all at once.  Fold in nuts.  Spoon batter into prepared pan.

3. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 50 to 55 minutes or until a wooden toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.  Cool in pan for 10 minutes.  Remove from pan and allow to cool completely.  Wrap and store overnight before slicing. 

OR slice it up, slap on some butter and eat it all immediately.

Makes one loaf.

Question:  Do you have a favorite quick bread recipe?   Or is there some other carb-loaded, bready treat you like to make?
