Freshly whipped cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus more for greasing
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
8 ounces (scant 1 cup) canned unsweetened pumpkin puree
2 large eggs
2/3 cup water
2 cups half-and-half
1/2 vanilla bean, seeds scraped
5 large egg yolks
1/3 cup pure cane sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup apple juice
1 star anise
1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
4 whole cloves
2 cinnamon sticks
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon apple schnapps

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Combine the cream, milk, vanilla bean and seeds in a small saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer.
  • Whisk together the yolks, sugar, maple syrup, and pumpkin puree in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the hot cream mixture until combined, remove the vanilla pod, and whisk in the bourbon. Strain the custard into a clean bowl.
  • Scatter the pumpkin bread cubes in a buttered 9 by 13-inch baking glass baking dish. Pour the custard over the bread, pressing down on the bread to totally submerge it in the custard. Let sit for 15 minutes to allow the bread to soak up some of the custard.
  • Place the pan in a larger roasting pan and pour hot tap water into the roasting pan until it comes half way up the sides of the glass dish. Bake until the sides are slightly puffed and the center jiggles slightly, about 1 hour.
  • Remove from the oven and water bath and cool on a baking rack for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  • Spoon some of the Vanilla Bean Creme Anglaise into a shallow bowl, top with some of the bread pudding and drizzle with the Spicy Caramel Apple Sauce. Top with freshly whipped cream. Bread pudding is best served warm.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter or lightly spray the bottom and sides of a 9-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in a small bowl.
  • In the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the 4 tablespoons softened butter, sugar, and oil at high speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl a few times.
  • Add the pumpkin puree and mix until combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix until just incorporated. At low speed, slowly add the flour mixture and water and mix until just combined. Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 60 to 75 minutes. Let cool in the pan on a baking rack for 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and let cool completely.
  • Once the bread is cool, slice in half lengthwise, and then slice each half into 1/2-inch cubes. Spread the cubes on a large baking sheet and bake in a 325 degree oven until lightly toasted, turning once, about 20 minutes. Let cool.
  • Bring the half-and-half and vanilla bean and seeds to a simmer in a medium saucepan.
  • Whisk together the yolks and sugar in a medium bowl until at the pale ribbon stage. Slowly whisk in the hot half-and-half, return the mixture to the pot, and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture coats the back of the spoon. Strain into a bowl and set over an ice bath. Stir until chilled. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving.
  • Combine the cream, apple juice, star anise, ginger, cloves, cinnamon sticks, and nutmeg in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat and let steep for at least 20 minutes. Strain the mixture into a clean, small saucepan and place back over low heat while you make the caramel.
  • Combine the sugar, water and, vinegar in a medium saucepan over high heat and cook without stirring, until it's a deep amber color, about 8 minutes. Slowly whisk in the warm cream mixture a little at a time, and continue whisking until smooth. Add the apple schnapps and cook for 30 seconds longer. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm. The sauce can be made 2 days in advance and refrigerated. Reheat over low heat before serving.

EASY CINNAMON APPLE RAISIN BREAD



Easy Cinnamon Apple Raisin Bread image

This is an easy and delicious bread to prepare. Even better you only need one mixing bowl because you can throw all of the ingredients right in! Feel free to tweak the ingredients to your liking...add more cinnamon...add nuts, etc. I hope you enjoy it! Edited: I have also tried out the bread by using 1/2 whole wheat pastry flour and 1/2 regular flour, a tbl of wheat germ and less sugar to make it a tiny bit "healthier". It came out just as nice as the original.

Baking apple bread is a perfect way to welcome autumn-- the season known for crisp weather, cozy days, and all things apple. It's also an excellent excuse to dig up your baking pans and sharpen your cooking skills. And while apple bread may seem simple enough, there are plenty of tips and tricks that every baker should know before diving into the recipe. In this article, you'll discover some valuable tips when making apple bread recipes, including how to choose the perfect apples, creative ways to add flavor to your bread, and how to ensure your bread comes out of the oven perfectly.

Tip 1: Choosing Apples

The choice of apples used in apple bread can make or break the recipe. It's vital to select the right type of apples for your recipe. Look for apples that are firm, not too ripe, and flavorful. Some of the best apple varieties for baking include Braeburn, Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Jonathan, and Rome apples.
Beware of Moisture
One of the most critical factors to consider when selecting apples is moisture. Apples with high water content, like Gala or Red Delicious, are "juicy" and can lead to a soggy bread texture. Avoid these types of apples, especially if you're mixing them into the batter or adding them to the tincture.
Mixing Apples in the Batter
When adding apples to your bread batter, you need to take note of the apple size. Chopped apples are best for this step as they're easier to mix in and distribute evenly. Cut the apples into bite-size pieces. But don't make them too small, or you'll end up with an apple sauce-like texture. Aim for chunks of about 1/2 inch.

Tip 2: Overcome the Dryness Issue of the Bread

The other significant issue to consider is the dryness of your bread. If your bread is too dry or crumbly, it's because you've used too much flour or didn't add enough wet ingredients. To fix this issue, you can adjust your recipe or add additional wet ingredients to your mix.
Add More Liquids to Your Bread Batter
The addition of wet ingredients, like milk or buttermilk, will help break down the dryness in your bread. This will lead to a softer and more moist texture. It's also a good idea to add oil, butter, or eggs to your bread mix, as they will help bind the ingredients together and add moisture to the mix.
Don't Overmix Your Batter
Another reason for dry and crumbly bread is overmixing. As you mix the dough, the gluten in the flour will start activating, leading to a dry and tough consistency. Be sure to mix your batter until just combined. This will be enough to incorporate all the ingredients and prevent the dryness issue.

Tip 3: Add Some Flair to Your Apple Bread Recipe

One of the things that make apple bread recipes so popular is the variety of flavors you can add to the recipe. There are plenty of ways to give your recipe a unique and exciting spin.
Add Some Spices
Spices are an excellent way to add a unique flavor to your apple bread. Some of the most popular spices to add include cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom. Add these spices to your batter or mix them with some sugar and sprinkle on top of your bread before baking.
If You Like Nuts, Add Some in
Adding chopped nuts to your apple bread gives the bread a crunchy texture and extra flavor depth. Some good choices are pecans, walnuts, or almonds. Mix them into the dough or sprinkle them on top of the bread before baking.
If You Have Time, Make an Apple Cider Drizzle
This tip will give your apple bread a festive flair. Mix apple cider and powdered sugar in a saucepan, then drizzle the glaze over your bread before serving. It will also add a subtle but sweet apple flavor to your bread.
Add Some Cheese To Your Apple Bread Recipe
Adding cheese to your apple bread recipe may sound unconventional, but it's worth trying. The richness of the cheese pairs nicely with the sweetness of the apples, making it a perfect addition to your bread. Try using shredded cheddar or grated Parmesan cheese.

Tip 4: Bake Your Apple Bread to Perfection

This tip covers the most important aspect of baking apple bread. Baking can be tricky, especially for beginners. But with these tips, you'll be able to perfect your apple bread recipe.
Use a Loaf Pan
The best way to bake apple bread is in a loaf pan. Choose a loaf pan that is around nine by five inches, which is ideal for bread. Grease the pan with butter and lightly dust with flour, so the bread doesn't stick.
Preheat Your Oven Properly
Preheat your oven to the temperature listed in your recipe. The ideal temperature for baking apple bread is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Ensure the oven has reached the desired temperature before placing the pan in the oven to bake.
Check your Bread for Doneness
One of the essential steps in baking apple bread is checking if it's fully cooked. Use the toothpick test. Insert a toothpick into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean, your bread is done. If not, bake for another five minutes and check again.
Cool Your Bread before Serving
Finally, allow the bread to cool before removing it from the loaf pan. It will help the bread to set, and you'll have a neat and uniform apple bread. Serve with your favorite hot drink and enjoy the perfect autumn treat.

Conclusion

Whether it's for breakfast or as a tasty dessert, apple bread is one of the best treats to enjoy during autumn. With these tips, you can make perfect apple bread every time. Remember, choosing the right apples, adding flavor, baking to perfection, and adding your unique flair are the keys to success. Give your apple bread recipe the autumn touch, and enjoy the perfect slice of bread with all the apple goodness.
