Do you like apples?

"Well, I got her number.  How do you like them apples?"  Ahh, Good Will Hunting...such a great flick.

YAY for apple picking!

We took Teaghan apple picking this weekend.  Her first time...and I'm pretty sure she LOVED it.  And, I'm really hoping she likes applesauce, or Houston we have a problem, because I have LOTS of apples to go through! Last night around 8pm, I got a second wind and thought I'll make some apple bread! And I did, and I found it to be pretty tasty.

What I used:
1.5 cups of flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup of chopped candied walnuts
2 apples, peeled, cored and chopped!
1/2 cup of oil (I always use olive oil, bakers out there might think I'm nuts, so go with vegetable oil if you want)
1/2 cup of white sugar
1/2 cup of brown sugar
2 eggs beaten
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
cooking spray

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Using the cooking spray, spray your pan.  I used a 9x5 pan versus a bread pan, mostly because I thought it would cook faster, and let's face it, I was backing up to my bedtime.

In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, baking soda, walnuts, and apples.  In another bowl, whisk together the oil, sugar (both white and brown), eggs, cinnamon and vanilla extract, and then add this to the flour mixture. Mix, mix, mix, and then pour into your pan.

Cook for about an hour.  Check it with a toothpick. Make sure it comes out clean.  Cool and eat til it's all gone.  Or be sensible and eat some for breakfast over a few days...

Happy Fall!
