Ingredients for Apple-Almond-Raisin Quick Bread with Brown Butter Glaze
- 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, plus more, for the pan
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1 cup raisins
- 3/4 cup chopped toasted almonds
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt or sour cream
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon or orange zest, optional
- 1 cup shredded apples, excess moisture squeezed out
- 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Directions for Apple-Almond-Raisin Quick Bread with Brown Butter Glaze
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly brush one 9-by-5-by-3-inch loaf pan or three 6-by-3-by-2-inch mini loaf pans with melted butter and set aside.
- Combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Add the raisins and almonds and toss together. Set aside.
- Whisk together the melted butter, yogurt, vanilla extract, eggs and grated zest if using in a small bowl. Stir in the shredded apples. Fold this mixture into the flour mixture until just incorporated.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan(s). Tap the bottom on a hard surface a few times and smooth the top. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes for the regular loaf pan and 35 to 40 minutes for the minis. Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 30 minutes, then turn the bread out and let cool completely on the rack.
- When the bread is cool, stir the confectioners’ sugar and milk together in a small bowl. Put the butter in a small pan over low heat and cook until brown. Whisk the brown butter into the sugar mixture until smooth. Use immediately.
- Pour the glaze over the bread and allow to set at room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
