This week, the #SundaySupper movement turns 1 year old! I didn’t discover this wonderful group until April, but we are celebrating by sharing recipes that we have been dying to make, inspired by other contributors. I have wanted to make this lovely bread since I saw Patsy from FamFriendsFood.com, post it. I have jumped on the opportunity to do so. Here is my take on it.
I adjusted this recipe to make two loaves, since I was taking one as a treat for a meeting. Food makes meetings much more enjoyable. If I do say so myself.
I also made some other minor changes… I don’t follow directions well. She swirled dulce de leche in the top of hers before baking, but I chose to finish it off with a caramel topping instead.
To begin preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease to standard loaf pans, set aside.
In a bowl, combine 4 cups of flour, 1 tsp salt, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp allspice. Stir them together and set it aside.
In your mixing bowl, combine 2 sticks of room temperature butter, with 2 cups of sugar.
Beat those together until fluffy, and then add in 4 eggs, one at a time. Mix well.
Measure out 1/2 cup of buttermilk, and set it aside for a moment.
Now peel and dice 2 Granny Smith Apples.
It is times like this that I especially miss having chickens. My girls would come running for goodies like this, when I called them.
Mix half of your dry mixture into the sugar mixture, then the buttermilk, then the remaining dry mixture. Combine each completely before adding the next, and stop when it is just combined.
Stir in the diced apples.
Spread the mixture into the loaf pans.
Bake them for one hour, or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the center. Allow them to cool for a couple minutes, and then remove them from the pans to a baking rack.
Now for the topping.
Measure out 2 teaspoons vanilla, and set that aside. In a saucepan, you will combine 1/3 cup each of brown sugar, white sugar, butter and half & half.
Whisk the mixture together over medium heat, and bring it to a boil. Let it boil for 3 minutes, stirring continually. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.
Spread the topping all over the tops of the warm loaves.
Don’t these look delicious?
I have to say, that when my meeting that night was over, I brought home an empty plate. I love bringing home empty plates – it is the stamp of approval for foodies!

I love empty plates, too, Conni. Reading the recipe and seeing your photos confirms the winning combo of top-notch ingredients baked with love practically guarantees success! P.s. Bravo for grating your own nutmeat =)
Apple and caramel are one of my favorites. Look at how ooey, gooey lovely it is!!
Oh my word, this bread is insane! I just want the grab a spoon and dig into that glaze!
Even if I was by myself, you probably would have left with an empty plate. YUM!
I think I seriously just drooled on my keyboard over that sauce! Gorgeous!
Yummy! I would have no self control and eat the whole thing. After all, it has apples, so it is healthy…right…ha!
Absolute DROOOOL! This is so beautiful.
Delicious!!i'm drooling looking at your last pic
So so good!!
This is like the perfect idea for apple bread! That caramel dripping will haunt my dreams tonight!
Absolutely!!!! An Apple a day keeps the doctor away!
Nothing is better than when you turn around and see your plate is totally empty (or with a couple of crumbs). I can see how this bread would do that disappearing act really quick. Yum!
The dulce the leche on top is melting my foodie soul right now. What a sensational apple bread! Thank you for sharing the useful step by step pictures, so much easier to follow and understand food preparation techniques. =)
By the way I want that apple peeler, its so cool! =D
Dulce the Leche and Caramel is kind of the same right? I think so dulce de leche is a bit more creamier. I like the idea of using it as a topping, the apple bread surely looks fantastic and I am tempted to have a slice now.
By the way I love your apple peeler, so practical! I need one like this. =P
I bought the apple peeler-corer-slicer from pampered chef years ago. They still sell it. I have seen similar ones sold other places, too. It is very handy!
Mmmmmm….apples and caramel! Totally irresistible!!! And SO enticing with the dripping caramel topping!
Absolutely delectable!! I love the caramel oozing down the side. Too bad I don't have apples in my kitchen right now, or I would be running to make this.
As I sit here eating an apple I totally wish I had a slice of this caramel apple bread instead. Yum!
Thank you!
Dying for a slice right now
OMG! That looks killer! A slice of that would totally brighten up winter
Love anything with caramel and apples.
Such a beautiful loaf, Connie! And that caramel…..*drool*
I want to lick my iPad!
Yes, yes, YES! What's not to love about this stunning loaf of apple bread? And the more caramel sauce the better, in my humble (and greedy) opinion. Apple peeler/corers were always devices I scoffed at, since they're so big and unwieldy. However, after having made a few apple recipes that took FOREVER because I had to peel, core and dice apples by hand, I wish I had one! I felt an intense stab of jealousy when I saw your photo of the apple peeler doing it's thang. I'm going to buy one just so that I can make this bread
Wonderful Caramel apple bread especially the topping…….so tempting!
Conni, these look absolutely amazing and I could eat a slice right through my screen
))
The directions are mis-stated. "In your mixing bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar until fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time." I believe it should say beat together the butter and sugar until fluffy, then add the eggs".
Ahhh! Thank you for catching that. I have fixed it
I made mini ones for a bake sale. Beautiful and yummy. My husband owes me five dollars for eating one!Sent from my iPad
