Made from Pinterest - Country Apple Fritter Bread

It's funny how some recipes just catch your eye, I was browsing on Pinterest the other day and found Country Apple Fritter Bread, I made it right away, the picture is my loaf.   It's really good, even better a day after.  I'll definitely make it again and maybe add a little extra apple the next time.  The pin originated on this blog Baking Chocola Tess - just click on that link and it will take you to the recipe.  Give it a try, you won't be disappointed!!

Pumpkin Bread

I made a pumpkin pie the other day and had half a can of pumpkin left so I started scrolling through allrecipes.com for some way to use it.  This was not one of the recipes that popped up at the beginning, it was buried further down, I'm glad I kept going, it's a great recipe.  If you want to check out the original recipe here it is.   

Pumpkin Bread

2 c. flour

2 tsp. b. powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

1/4 tsp. b. soda

1/4 tsp. ground cloves

1 c. brown sugar

1/3 c. butter flavored shortening ( I used margarine)

2 eggs

1 c. pumpkin puree

1/4 c. milk

1/2 c. raisins (optional) (I did add the raisins)

1/4 c. chopped walnuts (I used pecans)

In a mixing bowl combine flour, b. powder, salt, pumpkin pie spice, b. soda and cloves.  

In a separate bowl, cream together shortening(margarine) and brown sugar.  Mix in eggs, pumpkin and milk.  Stir flour mixture into wet mixture until just combined.  Fold in raisins and nuts, if desired.  Pour into a greased and floured 9x5 loaf pan.  I used my yellow Pyrex desert dawn loaf pan.  

Bake at 350 for 1 hour.  

Enjoy!!  It's delicious!!
