I'm really enjoying doing R&D on pastries that can stand on their own, no icing, no topping, no nothing. Simple pastries that are delicious on their own even without any embellishments.
This is basically the same recipe as the banana bread I made earlier, but I just used apples instead of bananas and used Almond extract instead of Vanilla. I didn't use almond slivers because I'm too lazy to buy some from the grocery, maybe I'll use some the next time I bake this sprinkled on top.
I also experimented on the cooking time, 350'F for 30 minutes, then another 30 minutes with the oven off to let it set.
But I'm kinda confused on wether I'm going to call this a bread or a cake since it's basically similar to banana bread, but It looks and feels like a cake.
Again, I didn't style it before taking it's photo because I want to show it's simplicity since I really want to ephasize on it's taste and show focus on it being a pastry that can stand on it's own without any embellisments. And of course it's missing a slice, for tasting purposes hehehe. It tasted really really good!
So as of the moment, It's just Apple Almond Bread/Cake. :)
I think that the name's not that important as of now because I'm still beaming because my experiment turned out pretty good. It really tastes good and the texture is also good.
I think I'll be baking more often, I'm really rekindling my enthusiasm with patisserie. :)
