Caramel, apples, walnuts, sounds pretty fall, huh? Well, it’s still pretty chilly here in Berlin, so this bread was a nice, comforting treat and a hit with our house guests. It’s delicious anytime of the year, but if you have better weather than Berlin and are already enjoying the sweet fruits of spring, save this recipe as a pick-me-up for a cloudy day.

Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 3 apples, peeled and grated
- 1/4 cup brown butter, cooled
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup toasted and chopped walnuts
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 176°C (350°F). Grease a loaf pan and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peeled and grated apples with the cooled brown butter. Mix until the apples are well coated.
- Add the sugar, caramel sauce, and eggs to the apple mixture. Stir until the ingredients are completely combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, salt, flour, and cinnamon.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Gently fold in the toasted and chopped walnuts.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
- Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
For a more pronounced caramel flavor, drizzle additional caramel sauce over the top before serving. This bread can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you prefer a nut-free version, simply omit the walnuts.
