This bread is not only delicious but also relatively simple to make, with easily accessible ingredients and straightforward steps.

Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Butter: Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave and set aside to cool slightly.
- Apples: Peel, core, and chop the apples into small pieces.
- Walnuts: Roughly chop the walnuts.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the self-raising flour, cinnamon, and cardamom. Stir well to evenly distribute the spices.
In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Gradually add the melted butter while continuing to beat. Then, add the milk and light sour cream, and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to keep the loaf tender.
Gently fold in the chopped apples and walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly.
Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.
Gradually add the heavy cream, continuously stirring to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the sauce to cool slightly before serving.
Tips:
- Make sure to soften the butter to room temperature before mixing for a smoother batter.
- Use a variety of apples to enhance the depth of flavor in the loaf.
- Toast the walnuts slightly before adding them to the batter to bring out their nutty flavor.
- Let the loaf cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts.
- If you prefer a sweeter loaf, you can add a bit of sugar or honey to the batter.
- For an extra touch, sprinkle some cinnamon sugar on top of the loaf before baking.
There you have it—a delicious Apple and Walnut Loaf with Butterscotch Sauce that’s perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving it as a dessert or enjoying it as a sweet snack, this loaf is sure to impress.
