Adams Apple Co. Crunchy Cinnamon Bread
I have a huge weakness for bread. And when there’s cinnamon and sugar involved, all bets are off. Add apples and my world is complete. I’m pretty sure my heart looks like an apple fritter. This recipe makes a beautiful, sweet loaf of bread that is, well, everything. And it lasts longer than a muffin. If we’re being honest, take a close look at the picture and you’ll see the loaf looks a little ‘short’. The hardest part of this recipe is just waiting for it to come out of the oven. It’s a great brunch bread served with coffee or tea, or if you have hungry kids at home like I do, a big glass of milk will do just fine.
