Apple Bread

This is the recipe that I used for Marin's 1st birthday cake with cream cheese icing.
It is very versatile you can make it as a loaf, or mini loaves or muffins or mini muffins, or
double the recipe for a bunt cake.

1/2 cup olive oil
1 cup of sugar
3 tsp vanilla
1 large egg
2 cups flour
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp milk
2 large apples, peeled and graded

Options:
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped finely or coarsely depending on how you prefer them

Cream oil, sugar and vanilla together. Add egg and beat well. Mix together flour, cinnamon, salt and baking powder in a separate bowl.
Add milk, raisins,
and apples (nuts and raisins) and dry ingredients to the creamed sugar, oil and vanilla. Stir only until flour is well dampened.

Bake in a well greased 9x5x4 loaf pan or whatever best suits what you have chosen (I make 2 small loaves 5x2 1/2x 2 1/2). Bake for 50-60 minutes (30-40 for mini loaves), or until a tooth pick comes out clean, everyones oven is different. Cool and remove from pan.
