Apple Butter Bread

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the apple butter, cinnamon and cloves.

Step 2

Whisk in the water, then oil, then brown sugar, then the eggs (not all together). Mix until smooth.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Pour into a greased 9-inch loaf pan or 3 to 4 mini-loaf pans.

Step 5

Bake at 350F for 65-70 minutes for the 9-inch pan or 45-50 minutes for the mini-loaves.

Step 6

Let stand for 10-15 minutes to cool slightly before removing from the pans and letting cool completely on a wire rack.
