Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 45 mins
Total Time: 1 hrs
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1 loaf
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 cup diced apples
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray to prevent the bread from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1 cup of sugar. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of milk and 1/2 cup of melted butter. Stir until the mixture is well blended.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Add 1 cup of diced apples and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to the batter. Fold them in gently to distribute evenly throughout the mixture.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Drizzle 1/4 cup of caramel sauce over the batter. Then, pour the remaining batter on top, smoothing it out with a spatula.
- Finally, drizzle the remaining 1/4 cup of caramel sauce over the top of the batter, creating a beautiful swirl effect.
- Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice the caramel apple bread and serve it warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious no-yeast caramel apple bread with a cup of coffee or tea!
Tips
- Choose the Right Apples: For the best flavor, opt for a mix of sweet and tart apples, such as Granny Smith and Honeycrisp. This combination will give your bread a delightful complexity.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to a dense loaf, so a few lumps are perfectly fine!
- Caramel Swirls: For an eye-catching presentation, use a toothpick to swirl the caramel sauce into the batter before baking. This will create beautiful marbled patterns in your bread.
- Check for Doneness: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on your bread as it bakes. Start checking for doneness a few minutes before the 45-minute mark by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Serving Suggestions: Enjoy your caramel apple bread warm, drizzled with extra caramel sauce or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra decadent treat!
