Whole Wheat Pumpkin Bread a couple of weeks ago. Let's get this straight: I'm all about cooking with whole wheat flour. It's healthy. Whole-grains are good. I get it. But I can't do it anymore. I think I have a very specific wheat-type allergy (no, not allergic to gluten..any other ideas?)
So I used all-purpose flour in this bread and it was wonderful. It gets the brown color from the apple butter. I didn't use any kind of bran, oats, or whole wheat.
My vegan friend Angi shared a recipe link with me and I thought, "I shall make it today!". Then I was all, "Eh, I don't wanna go buy a pear...or crystalized ginger...and I'm gonna use eggs instead of chia seeds."
The day before I had bought some lovely MacIntosh apples that were just begging to be used in a pie or crisp. I have a lot of trouble finding MacIntosh apples here, so the window of opportunity had presented itself.
So I got the idea to bake a quick bread from the recipe link below, but I kinda just went off on a whim and added what I thought would be good. It was probably the best quick bread I've ever made. I cannot believe it turned out as tasty as it did. I credit the apple butter.

Ok Lady, I'm lazy. Too lazy to hunt down if you've ever posted an apple pie recipe.
ReplyDeleteDo I need to peel apples before putting them in a pie?
I don't want to.
Lazy, you see. And no need to hurry and answer this scintillating lazy person question. I'm too lazy to bake an apple pie during the week
