    Apple Bread

    Apple Bread features baked moist fruit with just the right amount of cinnamon, vanilla and sugar for a harmonious collection of good old-fashioned flavors. The Bread is tart, sweet, fluffy and a satisfying treat. Fresh out of the oven warm filled apple bread is soft moist sweet and delightful to eat. A hint of cinnamon balance the nutmeg and sweet apples to provide the perfect seasonal baked goods or anytime of the year.

    I love them fresh from the oven but look forward to the morning after and enjoying them with my favorite coffee. My kids would eat them all if they could as they enjoy theirs with a cold glass of milk. Warm your kitchen on a cool day by baking these little delights. Great for snacks, meal preparation or when you are on the go. You can make a couple of these bread batches and freeze, just be sure to let them fully thaw before serving (microwave for 30-90 seconds).

    In a bowl combine flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg & baking powder together. Set aside until ready to use. (I highly recommend weighing your flour and sifting the dry ingredients before adding to the wet ingredients, this will make the batter fluffy and not lumpy). In a large separate bowl: add white sugar, eggs and beat until pale yellow.

    Add vanilla extract, applesauce and oil. Mix everything together until combined.

    Add dry ingredients and mix.

    Add the finely chopped apples into the bowl and gently toss them together with a spatula. 

    Preheat the oven to 350°F / 176°C. Lightly grease the loaf pan (8″x 4″) with softened butter & flour or line the inside of the pan with parchment paper. Transfer the batter to the pan.

    Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick placed in the center of the bread comes out clean (tent with aluminum foil after 30 minutes)

    Remove pan from the oven and rest the bread in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring the bread to a baking rack to finish cooling.

    Slice & enjoy! Cover the leftovers in a container. Keep at room temperatures to up 2 days or refrigerate up to 6 days.

            Raspberry Almond Crumb Cake has a sweetly moist center with a slightly crunchy almond top layer that completes this easy to make home made treat. It is perfect for the any season, especially when raspberries are for sale in the grocery store. Crumbling buttery sweetness, this cake recipe is cheaper and better than any you stumble across. Whole raspberries covered in accents and invitations of buttery sweetness, this cake is a must try. This is one of my personal favorite crumb cake. When this came out of the oven it was met by my waiting family. We all gathered in the kitchen area and enjoyed a slice together. Absolutely recommend this with a cup of coffee for us grown ups. But kids also enjoy with a mild tea, milk or favorite beverage.

            Crumb

            In a small bowl: combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and mix. Add melted butter & mix until it begins to form coarse crumbs. 

            Cake

            Combine the eggs and sugar then beat. Then add sour cream, vanilla extract, almond extract, melted butter and mix everything together until smooth. Add the dry ingredients and mix everything together.

            In a bowl: add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt then mix. 

            Highly recommend that you sift the dry ingredients before mixing them into the wet ingredients. This will form a smoother batter and the cake will be very soft & fluffy. 

            Transfer the batter to the pan.

            Add fresh raspberries on top of the batter- if using frozen raspberries, do not thaw.

            Add 6 tbsp of sliced almonds.

            Then, add the crumb on top. Sprinkle the rest of the sliced almonds on top of the crumbs.

            Bake for 35-40 minutes (40-45 minutes if using frozen raspberries) or until a toothpick placed in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and rest the cake in the pan for 15 minutes. Then transfer the cake to a baking rack. 

            Garnish with powdered sugar on top. Slice, serve & enjoy!
