Step by step
Get ahead
Prepare to the end of step 4 the day before, cover and chill. Allow an extra 15 mins cooking from chilled.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat, then add the diced apple and cook for a few minutes until softened. Add the onion and celery and continue to cook for a few minutes.
- Pulse the bread to crumbs in a food processor and add to a mixing bowl.
- Spoon half the apple and onion mixture into the processor and whiz until smooth. Add to the mixing bowl, along with the chunkier mix, and all the other ingredients. Season generously, and let the mix rest for 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a well-greased 900g nonstick loaf tin or an ovenproof dish.
- Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes-1 hour 30 minutes, until a crust has formed. Rest for 15 minutes, then turn out and slice.
