FOR THE BREAD BATTER
- In a medium bowl whisk together flour, cinnamon, salt and baking powder. Set aside
- In a medium bowl beat the 3 egg whites until firm.
- In a large bowl beat the butter and sugars until light and creamy, approximately 3 minutes, beat in the vanilla, then add the yolks one at a time beating in between each addition. Beat in the cream, then the flour mixture a little at a time, just until combined.
- Gently fold the egg whites into the creamed mixture just until combined. Spoon approximately ⅓ of the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, place the cored and peeled apples in a row top side up on the batter. Cover with the remaining batter and bake for approximately 45-50 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Drizzle with caramel sauce if desired. Enjoy!
CARAMEL SAUCE
- In a small sauce pan add caramels and cream, on low heat, stirring constantly, cook until smooth.
Notes
- If you prefer you could also use store bought caramel sauce or homemade caramel sauce.
- This bread is also delicious on it's own if you prefer.
- I used a Royal Gala apple as it has a nice crunch and not too tart of a taste. Granny Smith apples are a favorite variety to use for baked goods.
- Other firm apples that are great to use include Jonathon, Jonagold and Gala. Honey Crisp apples and Pink Lady are sweeter apples and are best used in combination with a tart apple. Golden delicious apples can be used but tend to be mushy after baking.
- Store leftover apple bread in an airtight container on the counter or in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- To freeze bread, first cool completely. Then wrap bread in plastic wrap then again foil to retain moisture. Keep frozen in a freezer safe bag for up to two months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight.
