It&#8217;s been a favorite of mine for twenty years. The recipe originated in the small booklet that came with my first bread machine.<\/p>\n<p>I thought about making this bread a couple weeks ago \u2013 I <em>craved<\/em> it. But alas, I didn&#8217;t have any dried apples in the house. I put &#8220;dried apples&#8221; prominently on my next shopping list. I tried the groovier store first (Whole Foods), but only found some brownish ones in the bulk section. No problem, I&#8217;ll get them at the regular store (Safeway). But they had no packaged or bulk dried apples. Only some &#8220;apple chips&#8221; that had been fried in oil.<\/p>\n<p>Okaaay. Guess I&#8217;ll have to make my own. So I purchased a few fresh apples. The next day I used my dehydrator to dry them \u2026<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cooking.pfeist.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/driedapples.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-963\" alt=\"dried apples\" src=\"http:\/\/cooking.pfeist.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/driedapples.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"http:\/\/cooking.pfeist.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/driedapples.jpg 450w, http:\/\/cooking.pfeist.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/driedapples-300x232.jpg 300w, http:\/\/cooking.pfeist.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/driedapples-387x300.jpg 387w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a>\u2026 and the next day I made Apple Oat Bread. It was worth it all! My recipe is below. Please refer to my post &#8220;<a title=\"My Daily Bread\" href=\"http:\/\/cooking.pfeist.net\/?p=338\">My Daily Bread<\/a>&#8221; for my methods of kneading, rising, and baking yeast breads, as well as information on flours and measuring.<\/p>\n<h2>Apple Oat Bread<\/h2>\n<p><a name=\"recipe\"><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 cup apple juice<\/li>\n<li>1 1\/2 tablespoons butter<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon sugar<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n<li>3\/4 teaspoon cinnamon<\/li>\n<li>1\/3 cup dried apples, chopped into the size of raisins<\/li>\n<li>12 ounces bread flour (about 2 1\/4 cup)<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup oatmeal (quick works best)<\/li>\n<li>2 1\/2 teaspoons yeast<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Put all the ingredients in a bread machine and set to the dough cycle. Most machines take about 1 1\/2 hours to knead and rise the dough. Some machines have the option to add ingredients like raisins late in the kneading process; this is not really necessary for dried apples because they will hold up okay through the kneading process.<\/p>\n<p>When the bread machine is done, remove the dough from the machine and set it on a bread board. Fold it over a few times, then form into a loaf. Put it in an 8 1\/2\u2033 x 4\u2033 loaf pan and set it in a warm place to rise until it is above the edges of the loaf pan. (See <a title=\"My Daily Bread\" href=\"http:\/\/cooking.pfeist.net\/?p=338\">My Daily Bread<\/a> for reference.)<\/p>\n<p>Bake at 385\u02da for 22 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s yummy toasted with cream cheese and <a title=\"250 Cookbooks: Encyclopedia of Cookery, Vol. 1\" href=\"http:\/\/cooking.pfeist.net\/?p=456\">Apple Butter<\/a>!
