Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan.

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 3

Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, and cloves in a bowl.

Step 4

Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a separate large bowl until smooth. Add egg and apple butter; continue beating until smooth. Mix in flour mixture until just incorporated. Fold in raisins and walnuts, mixing just enough to evenly combine. Pour into prepared loaf pan.
