Pumpkin AND apple....

The two flavors of fall seem to be pumpkin and apple.  How many of you have a recipe that uses both?  This one comes from the Weight Watchers Complete Cookbook.

PUMPKIN-APPLE BREAD
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 large egg
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
1 apple, peeled, cored, and grated
1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F; spray a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and pumpkin pie spice.  In a small bowl, beat the egg; add the buttermilk, apple, and pumpkin.  Pour over the flour mixture; stir until just blended (do not overmix).
- Spoon into the pan.  Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 1 to 1 1/4 hours.  Cool in the pan on a rack 10 minutes; remove from the pan and cool completely on the rack.  Dust with confectioners' sugar.

Before.

After.

 

 

 

 

 This loaf can be cut into 10 nice slices.  It is good toasted, spread with a little cream cheese.:-)

We are having a beautiful fall around here!  It has been a good time for some neighborhood construction projects to continue.  The next post will be about one of those projects.

Thank you for reading.  I really appreciate  your comments.
