Shade House's Apple, Walnut and Sultana Loaf

Those of you may have seen my FB posting, I was searching for a loaf pan. There are so many sizes available. To cut long story short, I found a Wiltshire silicone one at Farmers with the dimension closest to that of my recipe. Needless to say, I am really pleased.

Here presenting my first loaf on my new loaf pan, Shade House's Apple, Walnut and Sultana Loaf.
This recipe was given to me by A, my ex-colleague.  This recipe I believe is from the Foodtown magazine.  I made it for my church get together after service.

Here's the recipe with my modification:

1 3/4 cups peeled, cored, diced apple (I actually forgot to peel mine, and I used Pacific rose (a sweet red apple)
1 cup brown sugar (I used 3/4 cup as Pacific Rose is a sweet apple)
100g butter ( I used 100ml oil)
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups flour
1/4 tsp flour salt
1/2 tsp each: baking powder, ground nutmeg (I omitted the latter as didn't have it in my pantry)
1 tsp each: Ground cinnamon, baking soda
1/2 cup each: chopped walnut, sultanas
icing sugar for dusting (I omitted as didn't have it in my pantry)

Preheat oven to 180c. Line and grease loaf pan (I used 21cm x 6.5 cm base measurement)
Combine the apple, brown sugar, melted butter and egg in the bowl. Mix well.
Sift the dry ingredients.  Mix them into the apple mixture with the sultanas and walnuts- it will be quite chunky.
Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
Cool, then turn out of the pan onto a cake rack. Dust with icing sugar to serve.

Makes about 10 slices.

Verdict: Hubby gave thumbs up.

Note:
It's delicious served with butter.
I think I will try the following variation: Using wholemeal flour and try out with Granny Smith Apple (green).
