• Stir in the apple butter until the batter is an even color.

APPLE BUTTER BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 8x4x2-inch loaf pan.
• Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cloves in a bowl.
• Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a separate large bowl until smooth. Add the egg and apple butter; continue beating until smooth. Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the raisins and walnuts; mixing just enough to evenly combine. Pour into prepared loaf pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

GRILLED TURKEY, BRIE, AND APPLE BUTTER SANDWICH WITH ARUGULA

Steps:

• Spread each of 4 slices of bread with 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Now spread each with 1 tablespoon of the apple butter. Top each slice of bread with a couple of slices of turkey, cover that with 2 to 3 slices of brie (enough to cover the turkey), and finally, arrange 2 to 3 arugula leaves on top. Spread the remaining 4 bread slices with 1/2 tablespoon of butter and lay them, buttered sides down, over the cheese; press gently.
• Heat a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet over medium-low heat. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and let it melt to evenly coat the bottom of the pan. Add as many sandwiches as will comfortably fit (either 2 or 4) and cook 2 to 3 minutes until the bread is golden brown and the cheese begins to melt. Flip and cook 2 to 3 more minutes to brown the bread. (Add another tablespoon of butter and cook the remaining sandwiches, if you need to.) Cut the sandwiches in half and serve hot.

APPLE BUTTER BREAD

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine the apple butter, cinnamon and cloves.
• Whisk in the water, then oil, then brown sugar, then the eggs (not all together). Mix until smooth.
• Sift together (important so you don't get white lumps in your dark bread), flour, baking soda and salt. Then combine with the apple butter mixture and mix until smooth.
• Pour into a greased 9-inch loaf pan or 3 to 4 mini-loaf pans.
• Bake at 350F for 65-70 minutes for the 9-inch pan or 45-50 minutes for the mini-loaves.
• Let stand for 10-15 minutes to cool slightly before removing from the pans and letting cool completely on a wire rack.

APPLE BUTTER RYE BREAD

Steps:

• Put first six ingredients into bread machine pan.
• Toast chopped walnuts in a hot dry iron skillet ~ set aside in a large bowl to cool.
• Measure flours and add to bowl with toasted walnuts.
• Shell cardamom pods and grind the seeds with brown sugar ~ add to bowl of dry ingredients.
• Add dry milk powder and vital wheat gluten to other dry ingredients.
• Spoon dry ingredients into bread machine pan, on top of wet ingredients.
• In one corner of bread machine pan, add salt ~ in an opposite corner, add the bread machine yeast.
• Select DOUGH CYCLE ~ after about 10 minutes of mixing, check dough consistency ~ if too dry, add water one tablespoon at a time ~ if too wet, add flour one tablespoon at a time, until dough is smooth and not ragged.
• Divide dough and shape into two one-pound loaves ~ LET DOUGH RISE UNTIL DOUBLED. ALLOW ENOUGH TIME FOR PROPER RISE ~ If dough doesn't rise enough, the bread will be dense!
• For two one-pound loaves, bake in a preheated 350F oven, in glass pans, for 20 minutes ~ tent with foil and continue baking another 10-15 minutes.
• For one two-pound loaf, bake in a preheated 350F oven, in glass pans, for 20 minutes ~ tent with foil and continue baking another 20-25 minutes.
• NOTE: I have not baked this recipe in a complete bread machine baking cycle.

APPLE AND RYE BREAD PUDDING RECIPE - (5/5)

Steps:

• Cube bread and toss in a large bowl with raisins and caraway seeds. Stale bread may be used instead of fresh. Toss apples in a bolw with bread cubes. Combine apple and sunflower butter (or tahini), 1 cup water, miso, amazake or soy milk, then pour liquid mixture over apples and bread. Stir to coat. Spoon mixture into a lightly oiled 2-quart casserole dish or two 9-inch pie plates or cake pans. Cover with lid (oven-proof). Allow mixture to sit for 2 to 4 hours before baking so bread will soak up flavors. Bake covered at 350F for 1 hour or until slightly firm and mixture pulls away from sides slightly. Then remove from oven and spoon into individual dessert cups. An ice cream scooper works well. Allow to cool slightly and then serve.

OVEN APPLE BUTTER

Steps:

• Wash apples and remove any damaged parts. Place the apple pieces in a medium-sized oven dish. Add liquids and mix sugar within the apples. Add spices and salt. Cut the vanilla pod in half, use both the seeds and the pod in cooking.
• Cook 3 hours 165 °C / 320°F (adjust if using the fan, middle rack). Give apples a couple of stirs and turns so that they cook evenly.
• When the butter has caramelized, you can purée and push it through a sieve and cook 15 minutes more. If using peeled apple chunks, a hand-mixer is also an option to smooth the butter to the final texture.
• Can the butter in clean sterilized jars. A wide steel canning funnel* is a great help if you don't want to mess with the jar sides and lids. Let the apple butter jars cool before transferring into the fridge.
