Description

The gingerbread and apple loaf recipe is prepared in one pan, incorporating fresh apples and fall spices into a base of golden syrup and brown sugar.

Ingredients

3/4 cup golden syrup
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 apples, peeled, or more to taste
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a (9x5-inch) loaf pan (or 2 smaller pans) with butter.
2 Warm syrup, water, ¾ cup butter, and sugar in a saucepan over low heat until butter and sugar are just melted; mix well.
3 Off heat, grate apples directly into the saucepan. Sift flour, baking soda, ginger, and allspice over apples; stir until batter is just combined. Do not overmix. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 35 minutes.
