I love lazy weekend mornings– warm snuggles under afghans, fingers wrapped around a hot cup of tea, songs from my childhood playing on the stereo and the smell of sweet delicious goodies baking in the oven. When we are lucky enough to have a weekend morning where the kids don’t have sports, I’m not teaching a class and my husband isn’t working we take full advantage of having a lazy morning. My kids love sneaking down to the kitchen with me to whip up something delicious to bake for breakfast. I have so much fun taking season ingredients and turning them into something yummy. 

In October we hit up our local apple orchard and spent a fun afternoon picking 50 pounds of apples. This is a yearly tradition for us. What do we do with 50 pounds of apples you ask? Why eat them of course! We store the apples in cardboard boxes in our nice cool garage, each apple individually wrapped in newspaper to help them last as long as possible. Apples with peanut butter, apples with cheese, crockpot apple sauce, apple cinnamon rolls, apple crumble, apple pie and cinnamon apple bread are a few of our favorites. 

My kids love their apples, but Bean has an issue with cooked fruit. She much prefers her fruit in it’s raw, natural form than cooked. Most of the recipes that I see for baking with apples have chunks of cooked apples in them. Bean is having no part of that, so I made it my mission this year to create an apple bread recipe where the apples melt right into the bread like with a banana bread, pumpkin bread or zucchini bread so that you have no idea that you are eating cooked apples. Friends I NAILED this recipe! It’s moist and delicious, has a crunch sweet brown sugar and cinnamon topping, and is flavored like apples but you can’t see any cooked apples in the finished bread! They just melt right in! You are going to LOVE this recipe! 

Move over pumpkin bread! There’s a new favorite autumn bread in town! Read on for my Cinnamon Apple Bread Recipe!

Ingredients:

-2 large apples, peeled, cored and grated

-1 cup packed brown sugar

-1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

-1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

-1 1/3 cup white sugar

-1 cup room temperature butter

-4 eggs

-1 tablespoon vanilla extract

-3 cups all purpose flour

-1 tablespoon backing powder

-1 cup milk

Directions:

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350F. Line two bread pans with parchment paper.

Step 2: In a small bowl combine brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside 4 tablespoons of the brown sugar mixture for topping the bread. Peel, core and grate your apples and then toss them in your brown sugar mixture until evenly coated. Set aside.

Step 3: In the bowl of a stand mixer cream together sugar and butter. Once the butter and sugar are creamed add the eggs and vanilla. While this is mixing, stir together your flour and baking soda, then slowly add it to the bowl of your mixer. Add milk and then mix until your batter just comes together scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add your grated apples and mix on low until the apples are spread out throughout your batter. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 4: Pour the batter into the two bread pans dividing evenly. Top the batter on each loaf with the brown sugar mixture that you set aside. Put in the oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Leave to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove from the pan and leave to cook on a wire rack for another 10 minutes. This bread will slice the cleanest once cool but is so yummy enjoyed warm! Enjoy!
