Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180C (160C fan forced).
Step 2
Grease a 7cm deep, 8cm x 19cm (base) loaf pan and line with baking paper, allowing 2cm overhang at long ends.
Step 3
Drain apricots and place on a plate line with paper towel and pat dry with paper towel and then roughly chop (take them off the paper before chopping though).
Step 4
Combine apple puree, sugar, eggs, buttermilk, oil and lemon rind in a jug.
Step 5
Sift flours and bicarbonate of soda into a bowl and then add puree mixture and stir until just combined (don't over mix).
Step 6
Fold in apricots and spoon mixture into prepared pan.
Step 7
Bake for 1 hour 10 minutes or until a skewer inserted in centre comes out clean.
Step 8
Stand for 10 minutes and then turn out onto a wire rack to cool.
Step 9
TO FREEZE - slice loaf and wrap individual slices in plastic wrap, then foil and freeze for up to 1 month and thaw in fridge for 1 to 2 hours, I've packed similar loafs frozen in lunch box and by the time you are ready to eat they are defrosted and ready.
