Rhubarb is such a jewel that I freeze it to have all year. Here’s how my mother used rhubarb – in an apple bread spiced with cinnamon. —Linda Tom, Sioux Falls, South Dakota

Ingredients

4 large eggs
1-1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
4-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1-1/2 cups chopped peeled apple
1-1/2 cups finely chopped fresh or frozen rhubarb, thawed
1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, sugar, oil and vanilla until blended. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Add to egg mixture; stir just until moistened. Fold in apples, rhubarb and walnuts.
Transfer to two greased 8x4-in. loaf pans. Bake 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool.
Freeze option: Securely wrap and freeze cooled loaves in plastic wrap and foil. To use, thaw at room temperature.

Editor's Note

If using frozen rhubarb, measure rhubarb while still frozen, then thaw completely. Drain in a colander, but do not press liquid out.

My wife and I just tried this and we're wondering what we did wrong! The final product looks nothing like the picture on the web-site. It looks just like it did when we put in in the oven-didn't rise at all! Any suggestion(s) would be appreciated. Don

Very nice and moist. I substituted the sugar for half stevia and grated the apples instead of chopping them. Will reduce total amount of sugars as I find this quite sweet.

Really good. I added a sugar topping. As an experiment, I may swap out 1/2 cup sugar for brown sugar next time.

This bread recipe was very moist and good. I halved recipe for just one loaf and turned out great.
