DIRECTIONS Mix flour, cinnamon, soda, salt and baking powder together. Beat eggs and add sugar and oil. Both brown sugar and honey are incorporated into the batter, lending a mellow sweetness that compliments the hearty texture of the bread itself.

There are approximately three medium apples in one pound (or two large apples in one pound). With this apple bread recipe, if you have a little less or a little more shredded apple, you should be okay. There's no better way to highlight this duo than with a loaf of quick bread. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Steps to make Apple Bread:
- Prepare the bread dough up to the first proofing (until doubled in size).
- Add the butter after the dough has formed a good stretchy gluten film (when you can see your fingers through the stretched dough).
- If using a bread machine, start kneading all of the ingredients except the butter. Add the butter 10 minutes after it starts kneading.
- Combine the apple (slice into thin wedges), sugar and lemon juice in a heatproof bowl and microwave it uncovered for about 4-5 minutes or until tender.
- Reserve the juice from the apple and set it aside to cool.
- Soak the raisins in lukewarm water to rehydrate.
- After the first proofing is done, punch the dough to let the trapped air out, roll it into a ball and let it rest for 20 minutes.
- Drain the juice from the apple, and drain the excess water from the raisins.
- Press the dough gently with your palm to remove the trapped air. Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough into a 30 x 20 cm rectangle.
- Sprinkle the apple and raisins evenly on the dough, leaving the edge to seal. Roll it up just like you would roll up a sushi.
- Seal the end tightly.
- Place the dough with the seam side down. With a knife, slice the dough into 7 equal pieces.
- Place them into a cake pan cut side facing up, and press on them gently. (Put one piece in the middle and surround it with 6 other pieces.)
- It will look best if you place the smallest piece in the center.
- Let the dough rise again. Let it rise until the dough fills up to 80% of the cake pan height. (The rising temperature should be 40℃ in the oven on the dough-rising setting or at room temperature in the summer time.)
- Brush with egg wash and bake it for 25-30 minutes in an oven preheated to 180℃. Rotate the pan after 15 minutes of baking to avoid uneven baking.
- If it looks like it is scorching on top, cover it with aluminum foil. (The oven temperature will fall from opening the door, so do this quickly, taking care not to burn yourself.)
- Once it is done baking, drop the pan onto the table to "shock" the cake to prevent shrinkage.
- I usually place a mug under the cake pan to push the bread out of the pan, and slide it onto a cake rack.
- Let it cool on a rack.
- [Icing] Add a small amount of water to the powered sugar, and mix it well to make the icing (it should be slightly stiff).
- I don't own a pastry tip, so I put it in a plastic bag and cut the corner to make a small hole and use it as a piping bag.
- Topping 1: Drizzle the icing onto the bread and it is done.
- Topping 2: Dissolve the apricot jam in warm water and spread on the bread.
- These were made in muffin molds (with the apricot jam topping).
- These were baked in aluminum cups without any mold.
- These were baked in muffin molds, sprinkled with powdered sugar.
- This one was baked in a ring-shaped pan, but it cooked through too strongly. It is moister baked in a round cake pan.
- When you are warming the bread the next day, break off one section, wrap it with plastic wrap and microwave it at 500 W for 20 seconds. It will be come out as though freshly baked.
- The water temperature should be 30℃ in the spring and fall, 10℃ in the summer, and 45℃ in the winter. I use the microwave to warm the water.
There's no better way to highlight this duo than with a loaf of quick bread. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk. Bursting with chunks of apple and lots of sweet spices in every bite! Using apple sauce makes this bread tender and loaded with apple flavor.
Use Food to Boost Your Mood
Most of us have been conditioned to think that comfort foods are not good and are to be avoided. If your comfort food is candy or junk food this might be true. At times, comfort foods can be utterly nutritious and good for us to consume. Some foods actually do boost your mood when you eat them. If you feel a little bit down and in need of an emotional pick me up, try a number of these.
Eggs, believe it or not, are fantastic for helping you fight depression. Just be sure that you don’t get rid of the yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that is the most crucial in terms of helping elevate your mood. Eggs, the yolk especially, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can really help you raise your mood. This is because they increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that dictate how you feel). Consume an egg and feel happier!
Make a trail mix out of seeds and/or nuts. Peanuts, cashews, sunflower seeds, almonds, pumpkin seeds, and so on are all great for helping to elevate your mood. This is because these foods are high in magnesium, which helps to increase serotonin levels. Serotonin is called the “feel good” substance that our body produces and it tells your brain how you should be feeling at all times. The more of it in your brain, the happier you’ll feel. Not just that, nuts, specifically, are a great protein source.
Cold water fish are good if you wish to feel better. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, etcetera, they’re all loaded with omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. These are two substances that boost the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s true: consuming a tuna fish sandwich can seriously boost your mood.
Grains can be great for driving away a bad mood. Quinoa, barley, millet, etc are fantastic at helping you have a happier mood. They help you feel full as well which can really help to improve your mood. It’s not hard to feel a little bit off when you feel famished! The reason these grains are so good for your mood is that they are easy for your body to digest and process. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps kick start a rise in your blood sugar which in turn kicks up your mood to a happier place.
Green tea is fantastic for moods. You just knew it had to be included in this article, right? Green tea is high in a specific amino acid known as L-theanine. Research has found that this amino acid induces the production of brain waves. This helps improve your mental energy while simultaneously relaxing the rest of your body. You likely already knew it is not difficult to become healthy when you drink green tea. And now you are aware that it can help raise your mood too!
Now you realize that junk food isn’t necessarily what you have to eat when you wish to help your moods get better. Try a couple of of these suggestions instead.
