Caramel Apple Bread
Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce, plus extra for drizzling
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Mix in the sour cream until combined.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated.
7. Fold in the diced apples and pecans, if using.
8. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, then drizzle half of the caramel sauce over it.
9. Add the remaining batter on top, followed by the rest of the caramel sauce. Use a knife to gently swirl the caramel throughout the batter.
10. Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
11. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle additional caramel sauce over the top before serving.
