Penzeys Apple Bread Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease two standard bread loaf pans and set aside. Peel, core and slice the apples. Cut into good-sized chunks, about 1 inch in size
• 2. In a large bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer until fluffy.
• 3. Add the oil and beat until combined.
• 4. Add the VANILLA EXTRACT, baking soda, salt and CINNAMON. Beat until thoroughly mixed
• 5. Next, add the flour and sugar and mix on low just to blend. Turn the mixer to high and beat until mixture is smooth. The batter will be very thick, almost like cookie dough.
• 6. Fold in the chopped apples, mixing by hand with a spoon so the apples do not get broken up. Divide the mixture between the two pans. Since the batter is so thick, it is easiest to spoon the batter into the pans
• 7. To prepare the topping, combine flour, sugar and PENZEYS CINNAMON in a small bowl.
• 8. Cut the butter into the mixture with a fork until all ingredients are moist and crumbly. If you don't mind a little mess, it is faster to use your hands.
• 9. Sprinkle equal amounts of topping on each loaf. Bake for about 1 hour on the center rack of the oven.
• 10. The loaf should feel fairly firm when touched in the middle; if not, bake an extra 5 minutes
• 11. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the pans. It is easier to slice the bread if you can wait until it is at least mostly cool.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Prepare 2 loaf pans (8 1/2x4 1/2-inch loaf pans) with cooking spray.
• Mix flour, baking soda, salt, walnuts, and apples in a large bowl. Whisk oil, sugar, eggs, and cinnamon together in a small bowl; add to flour mixture and mix until just moistened. Evenly divide mixture between prepared loaf pans.
• Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 90 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Divide butter evenly between two 9-inch pie plates and put them in the oven to melt the butter. Coat the bottom and sides of plates.
• Use a 4 cup measuring cup for the mixing bowl, if available. Beat eggs, flour, milk and salt on medium speed of a mixer for 1 minute.
• Arrange 1/2 of the apple slices in each pan. Pour 1/2 of the egg mixture over the apple slices in each pan.
• Mix the cinnamon and sugar together and sprinkle over the batter in each pan.
• Bake until puffed and golden brown, 20-25 minutes. Serve immediately, while still puffy, with warm syrup.

Steps:

• For Apple Filling: In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, cornstarch/water mix, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir in egg yolk and apples. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

• In a medium saucepan, heat the water, milk, and butter until very warm (120 to 130 degrees). Gradually add to the flour mixture. Beat for 2 minutes at medium speed, scraping the bowl occasionally.
• Add the egg yolks and 1/2 cup flour; beat for 2 minutes at high speed. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough.
• Divide the dough in half; roll half of the dough on a lightly floured surface to fit the bottom of an ungreased 15x10 baking pan.
• Spread with the apple filling.
• Roll remaining dough large enough to cover the filling. Place over the apple filling. Seal the edges of the dough together.
• Snip the surface of the dough with scissors to let steam escape. Cover; let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
• Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes or until evenly golden.
• Make Powdered Sugar Glaze: In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and enough milk to get a good drizzling consistency. Start with 2 tablespoons milk in 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and work up from there. Stir until smooth.
