2tbspapple butter, you can use applesauce but your bread will have a little less of an apple flavor
1 1/2cupshard apple cider, you must use hard cider for this to work
1cupfinely diced apples
2tbspplus 2 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
In a medium bowl, add flour, baking powder, sugar, apple butter, and cider. Mix with a large wooden spoon until ingredients are combined. Be careful not to overmix. The batter will be sticky and not completely smooth. You want to mix until everything is incorporated and there are no flour chunks, about 20ish strokes. Stir in diced apples.
Add 2 tbsp of melted butter to bottom of the baking pan. Scoop the bread batter into the pan, spreading evenly across. Pour remaining 2 tbsp of melted butter evenly across top of bread batter. Bake about 60 minutes. Top of bread should turn a golden brown and toothpick inserted should come out clean.
