FRESH APPLE SPICE BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Generously grease bottom of 9x5 loaf pan.
• Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and spices. Cream the butter and gradually add the sugar, beating until light and fluffy.
• Beat in eggs one at a time. Slowly mix in flour mixture. Stir in apples and nuts (or raisins).
• Pour into prepared pan and bake at 350 for 50-60 minutes or until bread is nicely browned and springs back when lightly touched in the center.
• Cool 10-15 minutes in the pan before removing. Cool completely on a rack before slicing.

SPICED APPLE CAKE

Steps:

• For the apples: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch glass baking pan.
• Mix together the apples, granulated sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• For the cake: Combine the butter and granulated sugar in a large bowl. Using a hand-held mixer, beat on medium high until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully combined, then add the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and buttermilk. Beat on low speed until a few streaks remain, then fold together with a rubber spatula until fully combined. (Do not overmix.)
• Sprinkle the bottom of the pan with half of the apple mixture. Spread the batter over the top of the apples. Top the batter with the remaining apples, making decorative rows across the cake. Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour. Allow the cake to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar and serving.

SPICED APPLE LOAF

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to gas 4 or 180.
• Line a 2lb loaf tin with greasproof paper.
• Peel and core the apples, cut into chunks, place in a pan and cover with water, bring to the boil and simmer until the apples are just starting to soften. Drain and add a little sugar to taste (I prefer the apples to be quite tart). Leave to one side to cool.
• Put all dry ingredients into a large bowl together and mix roughly.
• Next add all wet ingredients at same time, mix until all of the flour mixture is taken up.
• Pour into the loaf tin and cook for 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 hours until browned.
• When the cake is cooked, LEAVE IT IN THE TIN until cool, then wrap in foil.
• This cake is best left until the next day to eat (if you can wait that long!).

• Beat 1/2 cup butter and 1 cup white sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color.

Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Spread into prepared pan.
• Top the cake with the sliced apples, arranged in an overlapping spiral pattern. In a small bowl, blend 2 tablespoons flour, brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and butter with fork until crumbly. Sprinkle over the apples.
