When it comes to baking holiday desserts, there is one company I know I can't live without. That company is Lucky Leaf. You can try other brands of fruit filling for your pies and cakes, but if you expect that to come out tasting like they were make in a professional bakery, Lucky Leaf is the only way to go.This holiday season, I was lucky enough to receive an assortment of products to try out and my family experimented with some brand new recipes including an Apple Streusel Bread.
The bread that we made came out perfectly. So perfectly that my family gobbled it up before I could get out my camera. I think this bread is a great idea for a get together because they a little different that the traditional apples pies and fruit cakes everyone is passing around for the holidays. Its a great after dinner treat to have with a cup of coffee or tea because its not overly sweet. Here is the recipe if you would like to give it a try.
Ingredients
| Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 8x4x2-inch loaf pans. In a large bowl combine baking mix, flour, and apple pie spice. In another large bowl combine eggs, apple pie filling, apple sauce, 1/2 cup of the brown sugar, and oil. Add to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened. Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Top each loaf with remaining brown sugar and walnuts (if using). Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pans on wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely on wire rack. Wrap and store overnight for easier slicing. Makes 2 loaves Makes 32 serving |
