Cup of Yum
APPLE BREAD BATTER
- In a medium bowl whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a large bowl on medium speed cream the butter and sugar, approximately 2-3 minutes, add the egg and continue beating until fluffy for approximately 4-5 minutes.
- Beat the dry ingredients alternately with the milk into the egg mixture (beating between each addition). Fold the chopped apples into the batter.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle with the crumb topping. Bake for approximately 40-45 minutes or until tooth pick comes out clean. Let cool completely before drizzling with Maple Caramel Sauce.
CRUMB TOPPING
- In a small bowl mix together the cinnamon, flour and sugar, cut in the butter until you have coarse crumbs. Sprinkle on loaf before baking.
Notes
- I personally like to bake with Fuji or Gala, although I have recently discovered Pink Lady which is a good choice also. Other choices include Braeburn, Cortland, Golden Delicious, Empire, Honey Crisp, McIntosh and Rome Beauty.
- Let the bread cool completely then store in an airtight container or bag at room temperature for a day or two any longer and it should be refrigerated. It will keep up to four to five in the fridge.
- Let the bread cool completely before freezing. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, then place in an airtight freezer bag. The bread will keep for up to two months. Thaw the bread overnight in the fridge.
