This frosting, oh my goodness, so delicious. Now that's not to say the bread was not delicious. The bread could have been eaten without the frosting and would be just as delicious. It was sweet and moist, but the frosting, oh my the frosting.
Apple Toffee Bread
Ingredients:
-
Bread
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup quick cook oats
- 1 1/2 cups shredded apples
- 1 cup toffe baking bits
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup toffee bits
-
Bread
- Preheat the oven to 350º F. Spray a 9x5 loaf pan with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl combine the yogurt, both sugars, eggs and vanilla until well mixed and creamy.
- In another large bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and oats. Slowly add this mixture to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined. Gently stir in the shredded apples and toffee bits.
- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top into an even layer. Bake for 70-75 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out with just few moist crumbs.
- Remove the loaf pan from the oven and let the bread cool for 10-15 minutes. Turn the bread out onto a wire cooling rack and allow to cool completely.
-
Frosting
- In a small saucepan melt the butter. Add in the brown sugar and milk. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. One the mixture reachers a boil, continue to boil for 1 minute, while stirring constantly.
- Remove the mixture from the heat and whisk in the vanilla and powdered sugar. Let cool for 2 minutes and then stir in the toffee bits. Spread the frosting on the completely cooled cake. Let the frosting set up before slicing the bread.
Notes:
When I use Gala apples, I need 2 1/2 apples to equal the 1 1/2 cups shredded.
Make sure the frosting comes to a full boil, before starting the 1 minute timer.
If the frosting looks too thin after letting it cool for 2 minutes, add in a little bit more powdered sugar until desired consistency is reached, then add in the toffee bits. You want the frosting to be spreadable, but too thin where it will run down the sides of the bread.
