I am in the mood for fall. Have been for a couple of weeks now. I love fall apples and baking.
Go get some apples.
We have baking to do.
Apple Pecan Bread (from starter)
2 c. flour (I use self-rising to get extra lift)
1 c. sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 c. sweet bread starter
3 eggs
2/3 c. vegetable oil
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 c. chopped pecans
2 apples, peeled, cored and chopped
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl sift together dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
In another large mixing bowl mix together the sweet starter, eggs, oil and vanilla.
Combine the two mixes by gradually stirring in the sifted ingredients to the wet ingredients until just blended.
Add the nuts and apples.
Divide the batter evenly between two 9x5 inch loaf pans coated with floured baking spray.
Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a loaf comes out clean.

Hi Angie -- I've been reading your blog for some time now and love it! In fact, you've inspired me to want to raise chickens! Although it'll have to wait for awhile because we're still in a townhouse and the neighbors probably wouldn't like that too much. :)
Here's a hint for the bread -- if you dust the apples with flour before adding them to the batter they won't sink to the bottom.
From a fan you didn't know you had,

Hi, Anne. Thanks for reading.
You are right. That is an excellent tip to keep the apples mixed through the batter.
In the raw mix form it will look like more fruit than bread batter.
This recipe is intended to be a flatter heavier type cake so the fruit should be dense in a thinner loaf. My son hates it and won't eat it. So, I use sel-rising flour to get more lift and let the apples fall to the bottom. He will now eat the top part. I get the bottom. It works out well! LOL
I sure would like to share a slice of that with you !

It has taken me a about a month to read all your archives.I read a bit and do some chores then read a bit again.I found you through BYC.You are an inspiration!I too have a small farm and am not as far along as you.It was YOU who has given me the courage to try the meat chickens as well as the egg layers we already have.
Yes I am very ready for fall and will go apple picking next week!
