- homemade applesauce from 3-4 apples
- 2 eggs
- 2-3 tablespoons butter
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon fresh-ground cinnamon and cardamom mix (I use a coffee grinder I reserve for spices)
- 1/2-1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
Applesauce Directions
Wash, peel, and core apples. Chop into small pieces and place in a medium saucepan with 1-2 tablespoons water. Simmer on medium-low, stirring occasionally, until the apple pieces have mostly dissolved into a pulp (oh, about 15 minutes, probably).
Quickbread Directions
Add the butter to the warm apples and stir until it has melted into the sauce. Let the mixture cool somewhat.
Beat the eggs until they're light and mix in the applesauce. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Add to the first mixture. Add the walnuts and spices. Stir well. Put in a buttered loaf pan 9 by 5 inches. Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees.

Empress,
I think you would adore this recipe and weblog post. It made me wish I was holed up in a warm kitchen on a cool fall saturday instead of sitting in a cubicle. Then again, I think most things I'd prefer to sitting in a cubicle. A quandary for another day. enjoy!

plum cake
Hi John! My goodness, you've gone to the trouble of reading my blog -- AND commenting on it! Thank you! :)
And the plum cake recipe looks absolutely divine. My neighbor actually brought me a little pflaumkuchen with very similar ingredients as a housewarming gift a month or so ago. But this one looks even more luscious!
