The Freshman Cook: Caramel Apple Quick Bread / #OurFamilyTable

Today I am talking about quick breads! Quick Breads have been a part of my life since I can remember. My mother was not the type of cook with the patience to wait for bread to rise, so quick breads were a staple on our dinner table. I have always loved them, so I was excited to join in this celebration! 
I made a Caramel Apple Quick Bread to celebrate fall! Here in North Carolina we are enjoying a little taste of cooler weather, and although I know it will not last, it is definitely worth celebrating and enjoying it! So Happy Fall!
I used a basic quick bread recipe and then added some additional ingredients to create today’s recipe. I hope you love it as much as I do! 
Caramel Apple Quick Bread 
Makes 1 loaf
printable recipe at end of page
2 1/4 cup all purpose Flour
1 tablespoon Baking Powder
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1 1/2 cup Buttermilk
3 large Eggs
6 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
3/4 cup of granulated White Sugar
3/4 cup light Brown Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla

APPLES

2 Gala Apples
1 teaspoon all purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Roasted Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
1/2 cup Caramel Bits
5 Caramel Squares 

Mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.

Mix together the eggs, buttermilk, oil, sugars and vanilla.

Add the dry ingredients into the bowl of wet ingredients and mix well.

Grab another bowl and chop up the apples into small pieces, like shown above. Add the flour, roasted cinnamon and lemon juice. Mix together, coating the apples.

Add the bowl of apples into the bread mix. Stir with a spoon or spatula. Add the caramels bits to the bowl and stir.

Grease and flour a loaf pan. Pour bread batter into the pan. Add additional caramel bits. Bake at 350 degrees for 60-80 minutes.

Place 5 pieces of caramel squares across the top of the bread while it is still hot. Drag a knife or rubber spatula around the pan to loosen the sides.


As soon as the bread is taken from the oven, place foil over the bread pan, tented at the top, so the caramels don’t get stuck to the foil. Let cool.

 Remove the bread from the pan. 

Enjoy the bread warm or cooled. Be aware that the bread might be wet in some areas because of the apples.
