50-60 minutes
Yield:10 servings
INGREDIENTS:
75 mL (1/3 cup)  each of non-hydrogenated margarine  and packed brown sugar
2  eggs 
5 mL (1 tsp.)  vanilla 
250 mL (1 cup)  each of all-purpose flour  and whole wheat flour
75 mL (1/3 cup)  wheat germ 
5 mL (1 tsp.)  baking powder 
2 mL (1/2 tsp.)  baking soda 
1 mL (1/4 tsp.)  salt 
250 mL (1 cup)  peeled,  grated apples
175 mL (3/4 cup)  apple  juice
60 mL (1/4 cup)  maple  syrup
Use electric beaters to mix together the margarine, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat until smooth and frothy. Set aside.
In another bowl, mix together the flour, wheat germ, baking powder, baking soda, and salt with a wooden spoon. Lightly squeeze the grated apples to remove excess liquid and gently mix them into the dry ingredients. Incorporate the flour mixture into the egg mixture a bit at
a time, alternating with the apple juice and maple syrup. Pour the mixture into a buttered 23 cm x 13 cm (9 in. x 5
in.) loaf pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
CHEF'S SECRET:
If you have two loaf pans, double the recipe and freeze the second loaf. For a quick dessert, serve it topped with this fudge sauce:
Mix together 75 mL (1/3 cup) each of brown sugar, 15% M.F. cooking cream, and chopped walnuts in a small saucepan. Add 15
mL (1 tbsp.) of butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes.
Choose Québec apples such as Cortland, McIntosh, or Empire, highly recommended for cooking
