Apple Cinnamon Bread

This bread sounded so good, I am headed to store to buy applesauce so I can make it. It comes from a ad in Paula Deen’s magazine from Sevierville, TN where they sell this bread at the Apple Valley Creamery Ice Cream and Bake Shop. So if it is in Paula’s magazine, it has got to be good!

3 eggs
1 cup canola oil
2 cups sugar
2 cups unsweetened applesauce
3 cups flour
1 teas baking powder
1 teas baking soda
1 teas salt
2 table cinnamon
1/2 cup raisins (I use golden raisins as the flavor is a little milder)
1/2 cup coconut

Preheat oven to 350
Cream first 4 ingredients until well blended.
Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
Pour into 3 greased medium bread pans (loaf pans)
Bake at 350 for about 45 min or until bread tests done.

*I will probably add 1 teas vanilla and 1/2 cup chopped pecans.

A jar of spiced peach jam was given to me by a dear friend that I cannot wait to spread over a hot piece of this bread (and of course a big slab of butter)!
Would love to hear back any comments after you bake this.

Blackberry-Blueberry Cobbler

Saturday I remembered I had fresh blackberries in the freezer that we got last summer. When I saw this recipe on the back cover of a Paula Deen Magazine, I quickly got the blackberries out and proceeded to make it. The recipe is from a Diner in Sevierville, TN and is called Black & Blue Southern Style Cobbler. We devoured it with Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla on top.

5 cups blackberries

5 cups blueberries

3/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup Hillside Winery’s Black & Blue Wine

1/2 cup water

1 stick butter (1/2 cup)

Crust:

1 cup sugar

1 cup self-rising flour

1 cup whole milk

Preheat oven to 350.

In a large pot, combine fruit, sugar,wine and water. Bring to a low boil, stirring often to keep the fruit from sticking. Meanwhile, mix sugar and flour in a bowl. Add milk, stirring as you add until batter is well mixed. Set aside.

Once the fruit mixture is hot, melt the stick of butter in the preheated oven in a 9×9 pan. Once butter is melted, pour fruit into the pan and stir to mix together.

Pour batter (crust) evenly over fruit and return to oven. Bake at 350 until crust is a golden brown. About 45 minutes. Top with ice cream or whipped cream.
