Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 175 g (¾ cup) butter or baking spread
  • 175 g (¾cup) golden caster sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 225g g (1 ½ cups) self raising flour
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 4 tbsp greek yohurts
  • 2 or 3 apples chopped
To decorate
  • 3 tbsp caramel (we used Carnation)

Method
 

Heat your oven to 160C/140C Fan/ 320F and grease and line a 2lb loaf tin with baking paper
    Make the loaf batter
    1. Measure the butter, sugar and vanilla extract and add them to a large mixing bowl or freestanding mixer. Beat it all together with the k paddle of your mixer or a hand mixer until it is light and fluffy.
    2. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing a little in between each addition.
    3. Add the flour, cinnamon, yoghurt to your bowl and mix it all together so you have a nice smooth batter.
    4. Peel, core and chop the apple then add them to your mixing bowl. Using a spatula mix everything together one last time.
    Bake the apple loaf
    1. Pour the batter into your loaf tin and smooth it down.
    2. Bake the loaf for 1 hour 10-20 minutes. It's ready when a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.
    3. Remove it from the oven and leave to cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin and leave to cool on a wire rack.
    Make the caramel
    1. Spoon the caramel into a small bowl and stir it so it becomes runnier. Drizzle it over the top of the loaf.
