I love the Fall Season! Everything about it is gorgeous and wonderful — the colors, the scents, the flavors, and the warmth of family and friends. Here is one of my favorite autumn bread recipes, but it is delicious any time of year! #SoFabSeasons

Caramel Apple Crumbly Bread

A Scrumptious Autumn Recipe

Want to make your home smell amazing? Bake this bread! This is a recipe I created as part of writing one of my books. My character, Mrs. Griffin, is famous for her baked delights, and her Caramel Apple Crumbly Bread does not disappoint.

The recipe is easy to prepare, and clean-up is a snap too. Your friends and family will love sharing this bread with you, and it makes a great homemade gift.

Caramel Apple Crumbly Bread Recipe

Ingredients:

Caramels, Apple Pie Filling, Caramel Sauce, Flour, Baking Powder, Baking Soda,  Salt, Granulated Sugar, Dark Brown Sugar, Butter, Eggs, Cinnamon, Cloves, and Nutmeg.

How-To:

• Start by sifting your Flour into a large bowl.
• Add the Baking Powder, Baking Soda, and Salt, mix well.
• Whisk in the ground Cinnamon, ground Cloves, and ground Nutmeg until evenly combined; set aside and allow the flour mixture to become aromatic.
• If using whole Caramels, cut them into pieces; set aside.

• Pour Apple Pie Filling into a medium bowl, and use a pastry blender to chop the apples into smaller pieces.
• Mix Dark Brown Sugar, Butter, and flour in a small bowl; set aside.
• In another large bowl (I use my stand mixer), Blend butter and Granulated Sugar until creamy.
• Add Eggs, one at a time, and beat slightly after each addition.
• Spoon your chopped apple pie filling into the butter mixture, and stir to combine.
• Scatter in the caramel pieces or bits, leaving a handful aside for the topping. Mix well.
• Heavily butter the baking pan getting into every corner. Dust with flour.
• Pour a thin layer of batter into the bottom of the loaf pan.
• Preheat oven to 350° F

• Make Caramel Sauce (see my recipe)
• Add Caramel Sauce to remaining bread batter, swirling it in for marbling — do not stir thoroughly.
• Pour remaining batter into the loaf pan
• Crumble the dark brown sugar topping mixture over the top, and dot with remaining caramel bits or pieces.

• Bake 50-70 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. (It is a moist type bread, so if you hit caramel or apple, the toothpick may not be completely clean).
• Check your bread about 20-30 minutes into baking, if it is browning quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil to slow browning. Keep in mind that this is a darker bread, however.
• Let cool COMPLETELY in the baking pan on a wire rack.

• 3/4 Cup - Granulated Sugar
• 1/4 Cup - Dark Brown Sugar
• 1 Cup - Boiling Water

Directions:

1. Mix both Sugars and get the lumps out.
2. Spread sugar evenly over the bottom of a heavy skillet (i use cast iron).
3. Place over medium heat.
4. Stir gently with a wooden spoon, moving sugar constantly to the hottest pat of the pan until melted to a syrup.
5. Lower heat.
6. Very gradually add Boiling Water.
7. The sugar may become hard again, but it will melt in a few minutes.
8. Stir constantly to avoid scorching.
9. Simmer over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes (longer if needed) letting the hardened sugar re-melt, and allowing the syrup to reduce and thicken.slightly. (If it is too thick when cold, add a little hot water and boil again.

Notes

Clean-up may look daunting, but a little hot water and a scouring sponge melts the mess away in minutes.

This sauce is used in my Caramel Apple Crumbly Bread recipe.
