Apple and walnut tea loaf

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.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
2 cups self-raising flour
300g
2 eggs
100g
1 apple
160g
2 tsp vanilla extract
8g
1 cup milk (1% fat)
240g
1 tsp spice mix
5g
1 cup walnuts
230g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
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.
2. Prepare the Apple:
Peel, core, and finely chop the apple. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Batter:
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.
4. Add the Eggs and Vanilla:
Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
5. Incorporate the Dry Ingredients:
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.
6. Fold in the Apples and Walnuts:
Gently fold in the chopped apple and walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Transfer to the Pan:
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
8. Bake:
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.
9. Cool:
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.
10. Serve:
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.
