Apple-Cinnamon Loaf
- Preheat the oven to 175 °C (Ober-/Unterhitze; 160 °C fan). Grease a loaf pan with butter 5 g and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together egg 2, brown sugar 130 g, butter 100 g, vanilla extract 5 ml and Schmand 60 g until smooth. Stir in apple 3.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour 150 g, whole wheat flour 100 g, baking powder 5 g, baking soda 2 g, cinnamon 4 g and salt 2 g.
- Tip the dry ingredients into the wet ones and stir just until no dry flour remains. Fold in walnuts 60 g.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake ⏲ 55–65 minutes, until a toothpick pushed into the centre comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for ⏲ 20 minutes. Run a paring knife around the edges, lift the loaf out onto a wire rack set over a plate, and let it cool a further ⏲ 10 minutes. Peel off the parchment.
- For the glaze, melt butter 30 g in a small saucepan with brown sugar 70 g and milk 30 ml. Bring to a boil, then boil gently ⏲ 2 minutes, stirring, until slightly thickened and caramel-coloured. Take off the heat, stir in a tiny pinch of salt 1 g and let cool ⏲ 5 minutes.
- Spoon the glaze slowly over the still slightly warm loaf and let it drip down the sides. Leave to set ⏲ 15 minutes before slicing.
