I baked up this loaf of bread early one morning to serve to our contractor, who was helping Frank repair some wood on the outside of our house. I was anxious for it to cool, so I had the bright idea to remove it from the pan before it had cooled. VERY BAD IDEA!!
It fell completely apart. I flipped the pan back onto the parchment I had lifted off and stuffed the broken bread back in. Then I allowed it to cool and cut it into slices while it was still in the pan. They were not pretty, but they were delicious. I was happy I could get one slice that didn't look too bad for photos.
Yield: 8 servings (1 loaf)
Apple Cinnamon Bread
A layer of cinnamon apples nestled between delicious, tender layers of bread, then topped with more cinnamon apples. A wonderful breakfast, it also makes an amazing dessert served warm with a scoop of ice cream.
Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 1 H & 15 MTotal time: 1 H & 25 M
Ingredients
- 2 apples, peeled, cored, and cut into small dice (I used Granny Smith)
- juice of 1/2 a lemon
- 1/3 c. brown sugar, packed
- 1 t. cinnamon
- 1 stick butter, room temperature
- 2/3 c. sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 t. vanilla
- 1 1/3 c. flour
- 1 t. baking powder
- 1/2 c. orange juice
Instructions
- Toss the apples with the lemon juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
- In the large bowl of a stand mixer, fitted wth the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla, beating until smooth. Stir in the flour, baking powder, and orange juice just until combined.
- Line a bread pan with parchment. Spread half the batter in the pan, then top with half the apples. Add remaining batter and top with the remaining apples.
- Bake in a preheated 350* oven until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center of the loaf comes out cleanly, about 75 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan before removing.

Great story. Dont you hate when that happens and you don’t wanr to make it again for photos? It looks delicious to me. You could always put it in a bowl. Lucky contractor!
ReplyDeleteOOoooo this sounds so delicious!!
ReplyDeleteI did a similar thing with my cinnamon shortbread. Quite a while after I had poured on the glaze, I decided to lift it out of the pan by the sides of the baking parchment so it would finish cooling faster and earned myself a big crack in the middle. I pushed it back together and it managed to stick but, boy, howdy, was I mad at myself for trying! The important thing is that your bread still looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteI guess as seasoned cooks we too have our share of kitchen disasters. Sometime back I baked a bread, my head is saying 180C but the recipe called for 200C. The bread was a bit raw in the middle! Didn't have the heart to throw it away. Baked the slices on low temperature again. Good bread for photos or not, at least it was enjoyed by everyone.
