This bread is good for breakfast on a weekend! If you bake it in the evening, let it cool well, open up overnight for all the spices that nourish the dough and apples with their aromas, and in the morning enjoy a slice with a glass of milk or a cup of black coffee!

Apples and caramel are a classic combination, and if you add crumbly dough to them, you get ... a delicious pie. Insanely delicious pie! Disappeared almost instantly!
