I’ve tried some different apple breads before. What’s different about this one is the decadent caramel frosting on top. Like real caramel. Homemade caramel. It sounds hard to make, but it’s really not!

 

This bread is easy to make and you can freeze it too. This recipe makes two loaves of bread. I was given a bucket of apples and I planned to make a bunch of loaves of this bread to enjoy this winter. The problem is my husband and teenage boys are eating the bread as fast as I make it!

In a large bowl, mix together apples, brown sugar, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and eggs. We raise ducks and chickens so I love to use duck eggs in my baking. If you are lucky enough to have duck eggs, feel free to substitute them for the chicken eggs.

  1. Could I bake this in a 13×9? I don’t have but one loaf pan. THANKS


  2. I haven’t tried it, but I don’t see why not. You can also make your own buttermilk by adding a tablespoon of lemon juice to a cup of milk.


  3. I’ve got this baking in the oven right now. Really hope it turns out as nicely as yours did! I’m dying to actually taste it as well – my kitchen smells like heaven right now.
