The beaver is a proud and noble animal
Notes from a bemused canuck
100g brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
2 large apples, peeled and chopped to 1cm cubes
110g butter, room temperature
130g granulated sugar
2 eggs
1.5 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
190g all-purpose flour
1.75 teaspoons baking soda
125ml + 1 tablespoon milk, divided
60g powdered sugar
Preheat the oven to 350F/175C. Grease a 9-inch-by-5-inch loaf pan. Set aside.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar with 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon.
In another bowl, combine the diced apples with the remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and stir to mix. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and the granulated sugar. Beat the eggs in one at a time until completely mixed. Add the vanilla extract and mix.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda. Add the milk and mix until smooth. Add the flour and baking soda mix to the butter mixture, and stir until well-blended.
Layer batter, apples and brown sugar mixture. Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Layer half of the apple mixture on top of the batter, followed by half of the brown sugar mixture. Gently press the apples into the batter. Add the remaining batter to the pan, followed by the remaining apples and brown sugar mixture. Lightly press the apples into the batter and swirl the brown sugar between the apple chunks and into the batter.
Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for 15 minutes on a wire rack before removing from the pan.
While the bread cools, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar with the remaining 1 tablespoon of milk. Mix until smooth, and then drizzle over the cooled bread. Drizzle frosting glaze on apple fritter bread
A pessimist is a man who tells the truth prematurely. – Cyrano de Bergerac
Don’t ever become a pessimist… a pessimist is correct oftener than an optimist, but an optimist has more fun, and neither can stop the march of events. – Robert A. Heinlein
Tradition
Just because you’ve always done it that way doesn’t mean it’s not incredibly stupid.
Believe in Yourself
Because the rest of us think you’re an idiot.
Meetings
None of us is as dumb as all of us.
Idiocy
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
Consistency
It’s only a virtue if you’re not a screwup.
