Apple Walnut Bread (for bread machines)

3/4 cup water
1 egg white, extra large
2 T unsalted butter
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp grated nutmeg
1 1/2 tsp salt
3 T molasses
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 1/4 cups bread flour
2 1/4 tsp yeast
1/2 cup chopped, dried apples
1/3 cup walnuts, lightly toasted

All ingredients must be at room temperature.  Liquid ingredients should be approximately
80 degrees F.  Cut butter into small cubes.  Add ingredients in the order specified in your bread machine owner's manual.  Do not use delay bake function.  Apples and walnuts can be added 5 minutes before the end of the final kneading cycle.

Select whole wheat or basic bread, and normal or medium crust.

Remove baked loaf from pan at the end of the baking cycle and cool on a wire rack for at least one hour before slicing.

**For extra flavor - rub a tablespoon of cold butter over the top and sides of the hot loaf of bread as it cools.
