glazed quick apple bread

I just made Glazed quick apple bread. This recipe is from the Kansan May 28, 1967. It is very good.

2 cups flour
2 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons milk
1 cup unpared apples, finely chopped
3/4 cup nutmeats, chopped
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Cream shortening with sugar and vanila until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat well. Sift flour with baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Add milk, apples, nutmeats and dry ingredients. Stir only until flour is dampened. Pour batter into oiled loaf pan. Bake 50 to 60 minutes at 350 degrees. Cool. Remove from loaf pan and pour glaze over it, letting it drip down sides. Allow glaze to set, then wrap tightly.
Glaze
1/2 cup confectioners sugar, sifted
2 Tablespoon butter or margarine, melted
1 Tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Combine all ingredients and mix well. Pour over bread allowing to drip down sides.

The glaze tastes like cinnamon frosting ,would probably be good with homemade doughnuts as well.


It sure is freezing outside.I am so ready for spring.
