Apple Butter Bread

We developed this recipe to make use of the various fruit butters which are so popular in Lancaster County. It mixes up quickly, makes two loaves, and freezes well. It's tasty when served with breakfast, or with afternoon tea.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup butter or margarine
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 cup apple butter
• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2/3 cup evaporated milk (one 5 oz. can)

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In small bowl stir together flour, baking powder, soda & salt; set aside.
2. In medium bowl beat butter or margarine with electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add sugar; beat till fluffy. Add egg; beat well. Beat in apple butter & vanilla.
3. Stir lemon juice into milk; mixture will curdle.
4. Add flour mixture to apple butter mixture alternately with milk mixture, beating on medium speed after each addition just till combined. Do not overbeat.
5. Pour into two greased 8x5" or 9x5" loaf pans and bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 25 minutes till a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool on wire racks.
