Apple Walnut Sourdough Bread recipe

1 stick butter
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1 - 2 cups sourdough starter
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup applesauce
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 pkg apple and cinnamon instant oatmeal
1 cup regular flour
1 cup eikorn flour
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars together.
Add in the egg, milk, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, salt and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Add in the sourdough starter and the applesauce. Again, mix well.
Now add in the oatmeal, walnuts, and flours. Make sure that you get everything fully combined. This will leave you with a very wet mixture.
Let this mixture set, lightly covered for at least 7 hours.
Preheat oven to 350* and spray bread pans with Pam, or coat with butter or oil.
Pour mixture into your bread pans. DO not mix it up again, you want it to remain risen.
Bake for around 1 hour- depending on the size of your bread pans and other factors, you may be baking for a slightly shorter or slightly longer period of time.
Once you remove from the oven, carefully dump out the bread onto a cooling rack. If you leave them in the bread pans, or place them on a flat surface, the bottoms of the bread will get soggy.
Wait at least a few hours for the bread to cool before you cut it into slices.
I store my cooled bread in a ziploc bag in the microwave.
