<p>Fall has arrived here in New England, and it’s apple picking time.  Here’s a simple but oh so delicious quick bread to make use of your apples.</p>
<p><span id="more-10280"></span>This little gem of a loaf with its moist and toothsome crumb is nothing special to look at, but it is the perfect accompaniment to a cup of coffee on a crisp autumn morning.  It has the perfect balance of spices, it’s easy to throw together, and it freezes well.  While I haven’t tried making this recipe into muffins, I’m sure that would work out just fine.</p>
<p>The best recommendation I can give you for this apple bread is that hubby and I were sorry when it was all gone.</p>
<p>Happy Autumn…</p>
<h2><strong>Apple Bread</strong></h2>
<p><a href="https://www.fransfavs.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Printer-friendly-copy.docx">Printer-friendly copy</a></p>
<p><strong><em>Ingredients</em></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>1 large firm apple, peeled and cored (such as Fuji, Granny Smith, or Honeycrisp)</li>
<li>1 1/2 cups flour</li>
<li>1/2 cup granulated sugar</li>
<li>1/2 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed</li>
<li>3/4 tsp. cinnamon</li>
<li>1/4 tsp. nutmeg</li>
<li>1/2 tsp. baking soda</li>
<li>1/4 tsp. baking powder</li>
<li>1/4 tsp. salt</li>
<li>2 eggs at room temperature, beaten</li>
<li>1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted</li>
<li>1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, optional</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><em>Directions</em></strong></p>
<p><strong><u>Note</u></strong><strong>:</strong>  Do not use an electric mixer to combine ingredients.</p>
<p>Preheat the oven to 350° F.  Grease an 8×4-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper or foil, allowing excess to hang over the sides of the pan; set aside.</p>
<p>Using the largest holes on a cheese grater, grate the apple—or you can chop the apple into small pieces.  Set aside.</p>
<p>In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.  Stir in the eggs and melted butter by hand until fully combined.  (Batter will be thick.)</p>
<p>Stir the apple and nuts (if using) into the batter until evenly combined.  Do not overmix.</p>

<p>Pour into the prepared pan and smooth out the top.</p>
<p>Bake for approximately 50 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs clinging.</p>
<p>Let cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.  Remove from pan and let cool for about 30 minutes before slicing.  Any leftovers should be tightly wrapped and refrigerated for up to 5 days.</p>

<p>Here is yet another Irish soda bread that has been in my collection for a good number of years.  This one falls into the breakfast/dessert bread category.</p>
<p><span id="more-9965"></span>I have a more <a href="https://www.fransfavs.com/2012/03/toms-irish-bread/">traditional Irish soda bread</a> that I prefer to have with corned beef and cabbage, and it’s super tasty toasted and slathered with butter.  I’ve also got an <a href="https://www.fransfavs.com/2020/03/irish-tea-bread/">Irish tea bread</a> that is really cake-like.  If you are as obsessed with Irish bread as I am, there’s yet one more <a href="https://www.fransfavs.com/2013/03/irish-soda-bread/">Irish soda bread</a> here on the blog that has a pint of sour cream in it which makes it fall into the dessert bread category as well.</p>
<p>Despite the fact that I have all these recipes for a variety of Irish soda breads and I truly enjoy every one of them, I can’t seem to stop trying new recipes for the next Irish soda bread.  Believe it or not, there are several more on my must try list!</p>
<p>But…back to this recipe for Irish soda bread, it is super easy to make as it mixes up in a jiffy by hand &#8211; no mixer required.  I try to ignore it as it cools because this is one bread that tastes better after several hours or overnight.  The texture is soft and dense at the same time, and it tastes satisfyingly good with a cup of coffee or tea.  The bread itself is not overly sweet as there is just 1/3 cup of sugar in it, so the currants give it a nice little touch of sweetness when you bite into one of them.</p>
<p>In any event, how could anyone resist making an Irish soda bread with “irresistible” in its title?  I certainly couldn’t!</p>

<p>I&#146;ve decided that as with chocolate cake and chocolate chip cookies you can never have too many recipes for a good thing.&nbsp; Along with a <a href="https://www.fransfavs.com/2012/03/toms-irish-bread/">traditional Irish soda bread</a> and another <a href="https://www.fransfavs.com/2013/03/irish-soda-bread/">Irish bread</a> that falls into the tea bread category, I am adding this recipe for Irish tea bread to the blog.&nbsp; This is more like a dessert bread or quick bread in that it really isn&#146;t bread at all.&nbsp; It&#146;s along the line of banana bread or zucchini bread.</p>
<p><span id="more-9506"></span>Given the current state of affairs with the Coronavirus pandemic, many of us are spending our time at home&#151;either working from home if you have the option of doing so, or perhaps you&#146;re home because your children don&#146;t have school.&nbsp; Maybe you are in self-quarantine.&nbsp; In my and my husband&#146;s case, we are practicing social distancing as we&#146;re both 70+ with me having an underlying medical condition that puts me in a high risk category.&nbsp; All of which leaves me wondering what recipe shall I try next?</p>
<p>I always have a well-stocked pantry and freezer.&nbsp; As such, on the spur of the moment, I can usually whip up any dessert or meal that doesn&#146;t require a special ingredient.&nbsp; In the case of this Irish tea bread, I&#146;ll bet many of you have all the ingredients you need to make it without having to go to the grocery store.&nbsp; I&#146;ll make an exception on the caraway seeds, but they&#146;re optional, so no worries.&nbsp; I always happen to have them on hand myself.</p>
<p>This tea bread is super easy to throw together and bakes in not much over a half hour.&nbsp; If you start now, you could be enjoying a piece in about an hour.&nbsp; Don&#146;t forget the butter&#151;yum!</p>
<p>Happy St. Patrick&#146;s Day!</p>

<strong><em>Directions</em></strong></p>

<p>Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. &nbsp;Fold in raisins and, if desired, caraway seeds.</p>

<p><strong><em>Fran&#146;s Notes</em></strong></p>
<p>The day after baking, I prefer to either toast the bread or gently reheat it in the microwave to restore just-baked freshness.</p>

<p><span id="more-8822"></span>It was a hyuuge (sorry) container.&nbsp; I had already made blueberry scones, and my husband Roger and I had enjoyed blueberries with our oatmeal for several mornings.&nbsp; When I looked at the amount left, a measly cup, I knew there weren&#8217;t enough for <a href="https://www.fransfavs.com/2011/07/1059/">Jordan Marsh blueberry muffins</a> or <a href="https://www.fransfavs.com/2011/06/blueberry-pudding-cake/">blueberry pudding cake</a>.&nbsp; Then, I remembered that I had tucked away a recipe for a small loaf of blueberry bread.&nbsp; When I looked it up, I found that it required just one cup of blueberries.&nbsp; Score!</p>
<p>I pulled out my small loaf pan and threw the ingredients together in a jiffy.&nbsp; By the way, years ago before I discovered microplane zesters, any recipe that called for orange or lemon zest would not be categorized as a recipe you could make in a jiffy.&nbsp; If you, too, dread zesting citrus, I highly recommend this handy tool&#151;it&#8217;s one of my favorite gadgets in my kitchen.</p>
<p>The loaf came out delicious, tender, and moist.&nbsp; It reminded me of a blueberry muffin in cake form.&nbsp; The size is perfect if you want to make something special for company, but you don&#8217;t want to be tempted by leftovers because it will go in a flash.&nbsp; On the other hand, if it&#8217;s just you and your significant other as it is for me and Roger this weekend, it will be all too easy to eat the whole loaf by yourselves.</p>

<p><strong><em>Ingredients for the Bread</em></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>1 1/2 cups flour*</li>
<li>1 tsp. baking powder</li>
<li>1/2 tsp. salt</li>
<li>1/3 cup butter, melted</li>

*The original recipe doesn&#8217;t call for a technique that I&#8217;ve learned through the years when making desserts calling for berries.&nbsp; Save about a tablespoon of the flour and use it to sprinkle over your berries after they&#8217;ve been washed and dried.&nbsp; This will help keep them from sinking to the bottom of the pan while baking.&nbsp; Notice the even distribution of the berries:</p>
<p><a href="https://www.fransfavs.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/IMG_3201-575x370.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8826" src="https://www.fransfavs.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/IMG_3201-575x370.jpg" alt="IMG_3201 (575x370)" width="575" height="370" srcset="https://www.fransfavs.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/IMG_3201-575x370.jpg 575w, https://www.fransfavs.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/IMG_3201-575x370-300x193.jpg 300w, https://www.fransfavs.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/IMG_3201-575x370-332x214.jpg 332w" sizes="(max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px" /></a><strong><em>Ingredients for the Glaze</em></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>1 cup confectioners&#8217; sugar</li>
<li>2 tbl. milk or cream</li>
<li>1/4 tsp. vanilla</li>
</ul>
<p><strong><em>Directions for the Bread</em></strong></p>
<p>Preheat oven to 350<sup>o</sup> F. &nbsp;Grease and flour an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 loaf pan.&nbsp; (I used a baking spray.)</p>
<p>In a medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt together and set aside.</p>
<p>In a large bowl, cream the melted butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy. &nbsp;Add eggs, beating well after each addition. &nbsp;Mix in the lemon juice. &nbsp;Add the flour mixture, alternating with the milk, mixing just until combined. &nbsp;Fold in the lemon zest and blueberries. &nbsp;Pour into prepared pan.</p>

<p>Whisk together confectioners&#8217; sugar, milk, and vanilla.&nbsp; Add more milk if necessary to get your desired consistency.&nbsp; Drizzle over cooled loaf.</p>
<p><strong><em>Fran&#8217;s Notes</em></strong></p>
<p>I made some pumpkin bread once for a neighbor who remarked that the dessert wasn&#8217;t like a bread at all but rather more like a cake.&nbsp; Lest there be any confusion for a novice baker, dessert breads are indeed cake-like; and this lemon blueberry bread falls into that category.</p>

<p><span id="more-8126"></span>My own list of top ten favorites for 2014 was limited to just those recipes I posted in 2014.&nbsp; If I didn&#8217;t have that as a criteria, I would certainly list a couple of the Levain Bakery cookies as well&#151;in particular, the <a href="https://www.fransfavs.com/2012/07/levain-bakery-chocolate-chip-walnut-cookie-clone/%20">chocolate chip cookie</a> and the <a href="https://www.fransfavs.com/2013/05/levain-bakery-oatmeal-raisin-cookie-clone/">oatmeal raisin cookie</a>.&nbsp; They blow away all the competitors in their category.</p>
<p>Once again, since I post only those recipes that I believe are truly &#8220;frantastic,&#8221; it was difficult to limit myself to just 10 recipes from last year.&nbsp; So, with more than a little bit of hand-wringing, I give you my top ten favorites from 2014.&nbsp; It turns out that 9 out of the 10 fall into the dessert category.&nbsp; Yes, I do have a sweet tooth!</p>

<p>Cranberries are particularly ubiquitous this time of year with displays of the bouncing, bright red berries front and center in the produce section of all the local supermarkets.&nbsp; It makes my shopping a lot easier as I don&#8217;t have to search out the treasure bags of berries I need for my holiday baking as was sometimes the case when I lived in Chicago.</p>
<p>Dessert breads are always high on my holiday baking list&#151;<a href="https://www.fransfavs.com/2011/11/date-nut-bread/%20">date nut bread</a> is a must along with <a href="https://www.fransfavs.com/2011/10/pumpkin-bread/">pumpkin bread</a>.&nbsp; Cranberry-orange bread, however, just screams Thanksgiving to me, and the first bag of cranberries I get my hands on finds its way into a loaf.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know who first thought up the pairing of cranberries and orange, but it is a flavor match made in heaven.&nbsp; The orange rind and cranberries blend to give this delicious dessert bread a bright fresh taste with every bite.</p>

<b><i>Directions</i></b></p>
<p>Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 375<sup>o</sup> F.&nbsp; <b><i>Note that you will be decreasing the temperature to 350<sup>o</sup> F after the first 20 minutes of baking.</i> &nbsp;</b></p>
<p>Grease and flour a 9&#215;5-inch loaf pan or use non-stick baking spray which contains flour.</p>
<p>In a small bowl, stir together orange juice, orange zest, buttermilk, butter and egg.&nbsp; Set aside.</p>
<p>In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, baking powder and baking soda. &nbsp;Stir liquid ingredients into dry with rubber spatula until just moistened.&nbsp; Gently stir in cranberries and nuts.&nbsp; Do not overmix.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.fransfavs.com/2014/11/cranberry-orange-nut-bread/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8003" title="Cranberry-Orange Nut Bread" alt="" src="https://www.fransfavs.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG_9229-575x452.jpg" width="575" height="452" srcset="https://www.fransfavs.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG_9229-575x452.jpg 575w, https://www.fransfavs.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/IMG_9229-575x452-300x235.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 575px) 100vw, 575px" /></a></p>
<p>Scrape batter into prepared loaf pan and spread evenly with a rubber spatula.&nbsp; <b>Bake for 20 minutes; then reduce heat to 350<sup>o</sup> F. </b>&nbsp;Continue to bake until golden brown and toothpick inserted into center of loaf comes out clean, about 40 to 45 minutes longer.&nbsp; Do a toothpick test&#151;you want to see a tender crumb clinging to the toothpick.&nbsp; If your toothpick is bone dry, then your cake will be drier than it should be.&nbsp; Mine was done to perfection at 40 minutes (after heat was lowered to 350).&nbsp; It was moist with a tender crumb.</p>
<p>Cool loaf in pan for about 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire rack and cool at least one hour before serving.</p>

<p><b><i>Fran&#8217;s Notes</i></b></p>
<p>Cranberries can be definitely challenging to chop because they roll so easily.&nbsp; I swear they must be part Mexican jumping bean because they just roll and bounce all over the place whenever you try to cut them.&nbsp; I have never used a food processor to chop them but have always cut them by hand to control the size of the pieces I wanted.&nbsp; I recently read a tip, however, that I tried out this time, and it worked out very well.&nbsp; The tip was to put the cranberries in the groove of a meat cutting board and then slice through them.&nbsp; It worked like a charm. &nbsp;I didn&#8217;t have a single cranberry fly off the board onto the floor!</p>

<p>If you&#8217;re using frozen cranberries, be sure to chop them while they&#8217;re still frozen.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m a big fan of nuts,&#8211;but, if you&#8217;re not, just leave them out.</p>

<p>I don&#146;t know anyone who doesn&#146;t like banana bread, do you?&nbsp; Whenever I have really ripe bananas, this is my go-to, tried and true banana bread recipe.&nbsp; The fact that it is so basic doesn&#146;t take anything away from how delicious it is.</p>
<p><span id="more-6553"></span>My good friend Penny passed the recipe along to me some 25 years ago, and I have been happily making it ever since.&nbsp; She told me that after she had made it for the first time her husband told her to throw away all the other banana bread recipes.&nbsp; He was definitely onto something!</p>
<p>This banana bread is dense, moist and loaded with banana flavor.&nbsp; If yours isn&#146;t, I highly recommend you give this recipe a try.&nbsp; Excuse me, I&#146;m off to make some coffee and enjoy another piece.</p>

<h2><b>Banana Bread</b></h2>
<p><b><i>Ingredients</i></b></p>
<ul>
<li>3 <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">very</span></em> ripe bananas</li>
<li>1 tsp. baking soda</li>
<li>1/2 stick butter, softened</li>
<li>1 cup sugar</li>
<li>1 egg</li>
<li>1 1/4 tsp. vanilla</li>
<li>1 1/2 cups flour</li>
<li>1/2 to 1 cup of chopped nuts, optional</li>
</ul>

As per spe ts, issue in erection might be because of disgraceful capacity of sensory system that is in powder form that should be taken with full large glass of water. </span><br />
<b><i>Directions</i></b></p>
<p>Mash the bananas with a fork.&nbsp; Add the baking soda to the bananas and set aside for at least 10 minutes.</p>
<p>Cream together the butter and sugar.&nbsp; Add egg and vanilla and mix well.&nbsp; Add the banana mixture alternately with the flour to the creamed mixture.&nbsp; You can mix this as a cake rather than muffins (in other words, don&#8217;t worry too much about overbeating).&nbsp; Fold in the nuts if using.</p>
<p>Pour into greased and floured long, skinny loaf pan (13&#8243;x4&#8243;) and bake at 350<sup>o</sup> for 40 to 45 mins.</p>
<p><b><i>Fran&#146;s Notes</i></b></p>
<p>The original recipe called for baking it in two 4&frac12; x 8&frac12; loaf pans, but the loaves were kind of skimpy.&nbsp; I tried baking it in one 9 x 5 loaf pan, but the middle didn&#8217;t cook while the outside got too dark.&nbsp; Then I tried baking it in my long 13x 4 loaf pan, and that worked beautifully. An angel food cake pan would probably work if you don&#8217;t have a long loaf pan.&nbsp; You&#8217;ll just have to experiment with the baking time.</p>
<p>Also, as with any recipe calling for ripe bananas, be sure your bananas are really ripe so that you&#146;ll have nice strong banana flavor in your final product.&nbsp; I like to let mine get just about to the fruit fly stage!</p>
