Fresh ginger, apple and walnut loaf

Babiche Martens

Sweet, yet not too sweet, it gains a little digestive assistance from the ginger. Best of all, it’s easy to transport — no melted icing disasters to contend with here.

Ingredients

150 g	Flour
100 g	Brown sugar
80 g	Butter
½	Oranges, zest
½ tsp	Ground ginger
1 Tbsp	Fresh ginger (Main)
1 cup	Apple, sliced (Main)
1 cup	Walnuts, roughly chopped
½ tsp	Baking soda, dissolved in 1 Tbsp boiling water
1	Egg
150 ml	Natural yoghurt

Directions

1. Heat an oven to 170C. Line a loaf tin with baking paper, cutting into the corners to ensure it sits snugly.
2. Place the flour, 80g sugar, butter, zest, ginger and grated ginger in a bowl. Rub with your fingers until it resembles breadcrumbs.
3. Sprinkle the remainder of the sugar on the base of the tin and spread the apple slices and half the walnuts. Add the remaining nuts to the flour mix.
4. In a small bowl beat the egg with baking soda and yoghurt. Pour into the dry mixture and combine well. Pour into your lined tin. Bake for 50 minutes.
