Have you started transitioning over to fall yet? My mind keeps flip flopping between pumpkins and apples to watermelon and strawberries. The gorgeous 80 degree weather we are having has put a halt to me pulling out the fall decor.
Luckily, last week we had a few chillier days that gave off the feeling of fall. I managed to pull out two pieces of decor and bake this delicious Apple Cinnamon Bread. 🍎
This bread is a perfect fall treat. The smell of the apples and cinnamon baking fills the house, and the bread tastes amazing. (I prefer mine warm right out of the oven). Its got a little cinnamon sugar crunch on the top and the middle is super moist, thanks to the diced apples layered inside.
Whether autumn-like weather has reached your neck of the woods yet or not, be sure to add this recipe (and other favorites listed below) to your upcoming baking list!
