Apple Bread

It’s finally apple season and I couldn’t be happier.

I must have tested this Apple Bread Recipe at least half a dozen times. I had a lot of taste testers for this recipe which means a lot of critics!

I messed around with the amount of apples I used, how big or small I chopped the apples, but never the type of apple.

I have to say for Baking or Cooking Apples,  I always reach for a Royal Gala or Fuji.  My favourites not only for baking or cooking but also for eating.

I also used Cake flour rather than all purpose.  Cake flour makes a tender and delicate texture.  And no need to buy, just make your own.

For every cup of all purpose flour remove 2 tablespoons of flour and substitute with corn starch.  Be sure to sift together two or three times so it is well combined and has no lumps.

Yesterday I shared my recipe for Maple Caramel Sauce, so naturally I had to add a drizzle to the cooled baked Apple Crumb Bread, and yes it was the perfect finishing touch.

How to Make Apple Bread

• Whisk the dry ingredients together
• Cream the butter and sugar for about 2-3 minutes
• Add the egg and beat until fluffy, about 4-5 minutes
• Add the dry ingredients alternately with the milk into the egg mixture
• Fold the apples into the batter
• Spoon the batter into the loaf pan
• Sprinkle with the crumb mixture and bake
• Let cool completely before drizzling with the Maple Caramel Sauce
