Apple Wheat Bread Food

LOW FAT APPLE BREAD

Steps:

• Mix the flours, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and baking powder together in a medium bowl.
• In a large bowl beat the egg and whites, sugar, applesauce and vanilla.
• Stir in the dry ingredients, followed by the apples.
• Stir until just combined.
• I baked this in a slightly larger than normal, lightly greased, loaf pan and had enough mix left over for 8 mini-muffins.
• This mix makes great muffins as well as the apple bread.
• Cook muffins for about 20-30 minutes or until done in a 350 degree oven.
• Bake the loaf for 1 hour in a 350 degree oven.

APPLE AND WALNUT WHOLE-WHEAT BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 325°F and grease a 9- by 12-inch baking pan.
• 2. On a large cookie sheet, spread the bread cubes in an even layer. Bake until lightly toasted, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
• 3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, eggs, yolks, and vanilla.
• 4. In a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan, bring the milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg to a simmer. Remove from heat immediately. Whisking constantly, slowly add the hot milk to the egg mixture. Let the custard cool slightly.
• 5. In a large bowl, combine the bread cubes, apple, and walnuts. Gently stir in the custard, coating the bread mixture thoroughly with the liquid. Let stand, tossing once or twice to distribute, until the custard is mostly absorbed, about 10 minutes.
• 6. Spread the pudding evenly into the baking pan. Bake until it is brown and the edges are bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool, then slice and serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream.

• Make a well in center of flour mixture; set aside.
• In a medium bowl, combine eggs, applesauce, yogurt, brown sugar, and oil.
• Add egg mixture all at once to flour mixture.
• Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy).
• Fold in nuts and raisins and spoon batter into the prepared casserole. Sprinkle with wheat germ.
• Bake for 60 to 70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
• Cover loosely with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning.
• Cool in casserole on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
• Remove bread from casserole.
• Cool completely on wire rack.
• If desired, wrap and store overnight before slicing (bread will be slightly moister the second day).
• Makes 12 servings.
