How to Make Apple Butter Bread Machine

  1. In your bread machine pan, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, and 1 cup apple butter.
  3. Select the 'dough' or equivalent setting on your bread machine and press 'start'.
  4. Once the dough cycle is complete, shape the dough into a loaf and place it back into the bread pan.
  5. Switch your bread machine to the 'bake' setting and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  6. Remove the bread from the machine and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
