How to make Caramel Apple Bread with Cinnamon and Nutmeg?

Caramel Apple Bread is super easy to make. You will need mostly standard ingredients-butter, sugar, eggs, flour, milk, apples and from spices – cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg. 9 x 5” loaf pan. You don’t need an electric mixer to make it, but if you want, you can use it. If you prefer to spend even less baking time, make muffins – use a muffin pan and bake about 15-18 minutes.

I started by making Homemade Applesauce. Although this recipe could be made with canned applesauce, I am always making my own, without any added sugar. It takes just 10 minutes more, but it is a huge difference in taste and, of course, is healthier. Peeled, cored and sliced apples cook at the steam (or in the medium pot in a small quantity of water at low heat, covered with a lid) about 10 minutes. When cooked and cooled, move at a blender, add the juice of one lemon, sprinkle with cinnamon and blend. This kind of applesauce gives more moist and fresh taste of sweet Caramel-glazed Apple Bread.

For Caramel Apple Bread with Cinnamon and Nutmeg, I prefer Granny Smith apples – already known for pleasing acidic flavor, excellent for sauce, baking, even for freezing. Other type of apple ideal for baking recipes is Fuji, Jonathan or Jonagold. Pink Lady and Golden Delicious are very sweet and tasty, but they are not ideal for baking because they get squashy. If you decide combine apples for any reason – sweeter and softer use for applesauce and firm (diced) to throw into the dough. For applesauce, you need 3-4 medium apples (1pound), and that brings 1 1/3 cups applesauce.

Meanwhile, applesauce is cooling, prepare loaf pan and preheat the oven. Mix all the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet (including applesauce) in another. Mix the two together. Dice 1 apple and stir in. Ready for oven :).

How to make perfect Caramel Glaze?

Have all your ingredients measured and ready. In a small saucepan at medium heat melt butter and add brown sugar gradually, stirring. Bring to boil (still at medium heat!) and let simmer about 2 minutes, whisking constantly. Add milk gradually, whisking until smooth and combined. Total cooking time should be about 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from the heat and let it cool slightly, gently whisking every 5-10 minutes, so that the sugar fully dissolves. Cooling time is about 30 mins (until caramel is thickened), but it is well worth the wait!

Pour Caramel glaze over the top of cooled bread.

To decorate Caramel Apple Bread with Cinnamon and Nutmeg you can use chopped or sliced toasted almonds.
