Apple Bread

If you're reading this thinking "another apple recipe!!!!!" I'm apologizing now. But if you, like me, have way too many apples from apple picking well- then you're welcome for another apple recipe. I liked this recipe with my coffee in the morning or a late night snack. Of course it's good without, but with a cup of coffee it's delicious.

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup butter

2 cups Splenda blend

2 eggs

2 cups of King Arthur whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla

3 large apples*

sliced almonds

caramel squares

* I used Beak & Skiff Apple Farm's Jonamac apples.

Blend together eggs, sugar, vanilla and butter until creamy.

Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl.

Blend dry ingredients a cup at a time.

Fold in almonds. Then fold in apples.

Bake in a buttered bread pan or mini bread pans for about 45 mins for the mini pans and an hour for the regular bread pan. Bake at 350 degrees.

After the bread is done place it on a wire cooling rack. While it's cooling grab a small sauce pot and place carmel squares (I cut them into quarters) with about a tablespoon of milk or creamer. I used vanilla caramel Nestle Coffee Mate's creamer. Stir constantly until caramel is melted. Drizzle over bread. Yummy!

Enjoy!
