Hello!
I lived in England last year while getting my MA degree and when autumn came around I was shocked to find out there was no canned pumpkin...so I made pumpkin apple bread from scratch...which was tough, but I posted about it. Here is my post...I hope it helps you somewhat!!

Hi folks!
SO my favorite thing in the entire world is the pumpkin apple bread... but here in England, it's a bit more difficult. I did all of the conversions and adaptations, so I figured I would post what I did in case any other people in Britain would like to have it!

Items Needed:
24 ounces flour
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1.5 tsp salt
24 ounces sugar
15 ounces pumkin *NOTE
8 egg white
4 ounces vegetable oil
4 ounces applesauce *NOTE
4 ounces apple juice (I used cran-rasp b/c it was all I had, and it worked well!)
2 small apples, diced

Preheat oven to 175 C
NOTE: There is no canned pumpkin over here! SO I used a whole pumpkin, and it worked well! Take the pumpkin, cut it in half, put flesh side down on baking sheet with a small amount of water. Cook until soft--took almost 2 hours for me
As for applesauce, I couldn't find a big container of that either, so I made some easily by dicing 5 small apples and boiling them until soft.

Combine dry and wet ingredients separately, mix together, add apples.

Bake in oven until golden brown and delicious!

Hope this helps someone...b/c I spent almost ALL day on this silly recipe! But boy is it yummy!!
