== Ingredients ==
* 2 cups all-purpose flour (I used half whole wheat flour)
* 1 cup brown sugar
* 1½ teaspoons baking powder
* ½ teaspoon baking soda
* ½ teaspoon salt
* 1½ cups apple butter (divided)
* ½ cup apple juice
* ¼ cup butter, melted
* 1 egg, beaten
* 1 cup raisins (optional)
* ½ cup chopped walnuts
== Directions ==
# Combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl.
# In a small bowl mix ¾ cup apple butter, apple juice, butter and egg together.
# Fold in the raisins and chopped nuts.
# Add the apple butter mixture to the dry ingredients and blend together.
# Pour half the mixture in a loaf pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
# Gently spread the reserved ¾ cup apple butter over the batter.
# Pour the rest of the batter over the apple butter mixture and spread evenly over the top to cover.
# Bake at 350°F for 55 to 65 minutes or until done.
# To bake "my mistake loaf" just put all the apple butter in the wet ingredients and blend into the dry ingredients.
# I cut up dried pineapple pieces and added with the nuts instead of the raisins.
# Pour the whole batter into the loaf pan and bake as above.
