Luscious Dulce de Leche Apple Bread Made with Real Apples
The other day I received a sample of the new Dulce de Leche Cheerios in the mail. I have to admit, I was pretty skeptical since I generally don’t eat sugar cereals. We are big fans of regular Cheerios in this house, but I never buy the flavored kind. That said, I am a huge fan of all things Dulce de Leche flavored so I was interested to give them a try. As the box suggested, the cereal had a try sweet, caramel flavor that tasted just like Dulce de Leche. My daughter was not totally won over so I decided to use the rest in a great baking recipe. We are always looking for new snack bread recipes and Dulce de Leche Apple Bread looked absolutely awesome. I loved the idea of adding lots of fresh apples and some cool crushed Cheerios for flavor. If you don’t have the new Cheerios flavor you can easily use the regular kind to make regular apple bread! This was a huge hit in our house, we’ll be making it again soon.
