Steps to Make It
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan. This ensures your bread comes out easily after baking.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. The mixture should be well combined and smell sweet and spicy.
- In another bowl, mix the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is blended smoothly, and the butter is slightly cooled.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold them together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay.
- Add the diced apples to the batter and fold them in. You want the apples evenly distributed, adding a pop of color and flavor to your bread.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan. Smooth the top with a spatula, and it should look nice and even.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The top should be golden brown and slightly domed.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack. This helps it cool evenly without getting soggy.
- Once cool, drizzle with caramel sauce before slicing. The caramel adds a sweet touch that makes each slice irresistible.
Make It Perfect
- For a fun twist, add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for crunch.
- If you want a sweeter bread, sprinkle some sugar on top before baking.
- Serve warm for the best flavor, but it's also delicious at room temperature.
Mix It Up
- Try using pears instead of apples for a different fruit flavor.
- Add a cream cheese swirl for a rich, tangy contrast.
Perfect Partners
- Serve with a cup of coffee or tea for a cozy afternoon snack.
- Pair it with vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert.
