Apple and Walnut Tea Loaf is a delightful treat, perfect for a cozy afternoon tea or breakfast. This recipe combines the sweetness of apples and the crunch of walnuts to create a loaf that is both moist and flavorful. Whether you're a seasoned baker or new to the kitchen, this loaf is easy to make and sure to impress.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the loaf after baking.
Peel, core, and finely chop the apple. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This can be done using an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, combine the self-raising flour and the spice mix. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Gently fold in the chopped apple and walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Afterward, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the Apple and Walnut Tea Loaf with a cup of tea or coffee. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Chop the apple and walnuts finely to ensure even distribution throughout the loaf.
- Line your loaf tin with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Use a toothpick to check for doneness; it should come out clean when inserted in the center.
- Let the loaf cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- You can add a drizzle of honey on top for an extra touch of sweetness.
Congratulations! You’ve made a delicious Apple and Walnut Tea Loaf. Serve it warm with a cup of tea or coffee. It’s best enjoyed fresh, but it will keep for a few days if stored in an airtight container.
