Apricot Nut Bread is sensational. This fantastic sweet bread includes apricots and walnuts. It's particularly delicious served with cream cheese on top. Excellent for holiday parties and fall baking.

  • 2 1/2 cups UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour bleached flour toughens baked goods
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. salt

Instructions
 

  • Soak apricots in water for 20 minutes.

Notes

NOTE: You can also use three small miniature bread pans and bake about 60 minutes at 350. Test for doneness by inserting a knife or bamboo skewer to the bottom of the pan. When the knife comes out clean the bread is baked.
 
NOTE: The original recipe used Crisco shortening. I’ve changed that to butter.
