I have been travelling a bit, been busy a bit and been sick a bit… last few bakes have been slightly disastrous without my baking stuff! but i am back with this đŸ˜€ and super happy how it turned out…and I havent posted in a long time .. anywhooo here’s the recipe
Ingredients:
Apple Bourbon Filling:
- Apple (Granny Smith) – 1 Peeled and chopped up
- Brown sugar – 50gm
- Butter – 30gm
- Bourbon – 2-3 tablespoons
Apple- Bourbon Loaf:
- Flour – 120gm
- Eggs – 2 large
- Butter – 100gm
- Brown sugar – 100gm
- Baking powder – 1 teaspoon
- Apple Filling (from above)
Maple Glaze:
- Icing Sugar – 75gm
- Maple Syrup – 2 tablespoons
- Heavy Cream – 2 teaspoons
Method:
Apple Bourbon Filling:
- In a heavy bottomed pan, add the butter, brown sugar, bourbon and apple pieces.
- Let the butter melt and mix with the other ingredients.
- Cook for 5-10 minutes on low heat. Swirl the pan a couple of times so the buttery – bourbon goodness mixes completely with the apple chunks.
Apple – Bourbon Loaf:
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees celsius, grease and line the loaf tin with parchment sheet.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar.
- Add one egg at a time and beat it.
- Sift the flour and baking powder and mix it with the mixture.
- Fold in the apple – bourbon filling.
- Pour the batter into the baking tin. Bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Check to see if completely baked about using a wooden skewer.
- Once baked, let it cool on a cooling rack.
Maple Glaze:
- In a bowl, sift the icing sugar to remove any lumps.
- Add the maple syrup and cream and whisk it until completely mixed.
- Add more icing sugar if you like the consistency more thick or add more cream/maple syrup if you want it more runny.
- Pour the glaze over the loaf and let it chill for 15-20 minutes.
Serve with a hot cuppa !
Happy Baking
