ROSEMARY APPLE BREAD

This recipe came about when, due to my attempts to eliminate unnecessary food waste, I realized I had {1} two trees full of apples in my yard that had to be creatively utilized in a quick way, and {2} three snack-sized applesauce cups in my refrigerator that were about to expire.

I have enough experience with baking quick breads (typically fruit breads, which do not require yeast) to know – in a general way – how to proceed with making the available ingredients in my cupboards work in my favor, so I threw together the following:

2.5 cups flour
1 cup brown sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
3 snack-size applesauce cups
2 eggs
1/4 cup olive oil
1 medium apple
1 sprig rosemary

Directions:  In a medium bowl, sift together dry ingredients.  Add eggs and olive oil.  Stir in one snack cup of applesauce at a time.  De-flock one sprig of rosemary and chop finely, together with apple.  Pour batter into a greased and floured double-loaf pan and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50 minutes.

Bread will be moist and savory.

    This is amazing, thank-you for the share, it’s going on my fridge. Years a go, I made a rosemary-apple yeast bread, thanks for sparking a fond memory.

    I think mimi spoke for all of us… 😉
    This will be a happening thing, I can tell you.

    AND, I fully intend to steal the line, “for purposes of embiggen-ing”.
    Consider yourself warned.

    I’m so glad you play along, thank you! 😀
