It sounds so good! I think I will take my neglected starter out of the freezer and make some
Good for you, Margaret!! Stop on over at the Kitchen Table and let us know how it is going! http://bit.ly/KitchenTableAFB
Where can I find caramel instant pudding? I can’t seem to locate it.
HI Martha
If you can’t find that one try the Flan pudding mix which is with all the Jello pudding mixes. If you can’t find that, you can just use vanilla or french vanilla!
Enjoy!
Thank you Susan for getting back to me! I will definitely try it with the flan pudding mix.
I am wondering if this would work with brown sugar instead of white sugar as we don’t have the different pudding mixes available in Australia.
I have just started the starter for the friendship bread… Cant wait to bake my first bread…
Oh my ~ this looks and sounds so tasty! I cannot wait to try it! Thank you for this recipe and for the Amish Friendship Bread Starter recipe!
Sounds wonderful. I actually have a starter out to make those caramel brownies (to die for). Will also make this caramel apply bread. Jan
Has anyone used fresh apples instead of dried ones? Have lots of farm apples right now.
