Key Lime and Apple Bread
Ingredients:
1 2/3 cup flour
2/3 cup sugar
¾ cup shredded Granny Smith apple (skin on)
2 eggs, at room temperature
5 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
3 tablespoons key lime juice*
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon key lime zest
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour or spray (with baking spray with flour) 1 9x5x3 loaf pan. In a medium mixing bowl, combine sugar, zest, lime juice, egg and butter until fluffy. Add the milk and apple, mix until thoroughly incorporated. Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly. The batter will be lumpy from the apple. Pour into prepared loaf pan. Bake 30-45** minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in pan about 5 minutes then invert to a wire rack. Slice and serve when cooled to your liking.
*"regular" lime juce and zest would work just as well.
**It really depends on how moist your apple is, the juicer the apple, the longer it will take to bake. If it takes a really long time (over 45 minutes) or starts to get really brown on the edges while still raw in the middle, drop the temperature down to 300 and continue to bake.
