Cinnamon and brown sugar baked alongside apples to make this delicious Cinnamon Apple Bread. This is the kind of loaf you take to a friend who just had a baby, a pal who is having a bad day, or your neighbor who always wave when they see you outside. Make this, you will be sneaking a piece before it’s even had a chance to cool all the way (and that is okay with me).
I am going through what many people would call a “transition period”. This might just be a nice way for my friends to describe my current mental status – good but we still watch out just in case. It’s not that things are bad, I have a wonderful support system, great hair (thank you Ericka) and my sarcastic wit. I also have baking. To me there is no better way to get rid of stress and self-doubt then to throw yourself into a baking project. On the second try we have this sweet and crunchy Cinnamon Apple Bread.

Fair warning – this is not a “skinny” recipe (but I doubt many of you come to my blog for that, so probably not a shocker). Cinnamon Apple Bread is exactly what you expect it to be – cinnamon, brown sugar and butter, or as I call them “the essentials”. But there are apples in the recipe, so that counts as healthier right? You be the judge of that, all I know is Granny Smith apples work perfect in this bread, the tartness really marries well with the cinnamon/brown sugar. And honestly in a marriage you need that kind of simplistic harmony. So get that butter softened, peel those apples and bake your heart away – transitions or not we need good food in our lives. And no one can disagree with that.
