Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Packed light brown sugar
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 Large eggs
- 1.5 cups Apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 0.5 cups Caramel sauce
- 0.5 cups Optional: chopped pecans or walnuts
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, brown sugar, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Beat the eggs into the wet mixture one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
Gently fold in the diced apples and, if using, the chopped pecans or walnuts.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Drizzle half of the caramel sauce over the batter. Add the remaining batter, then drizzle the remaining caramel sauce on top. Use a knife or skewer to gently swirl the caramel sauce into the batter for a marbled effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve slices plain, or with an extra drizzle of caramel sauce for added indulgence!
