DUTCH APPLE BREAD

Whether you’re baking for your family or for friends they’re going to love this sweet and seasonal Dutch Apple Bread. You could make this into smaller loaves to share with friends. Or serve it for brunch with coffee! This bread fits in everywhere and is the perfect way to say I love you!

f someone asked me to pick a favourite spice for cooking without a doubt I would pick oregano, now if you asked me the same question about baking no problem on that one either, I choose cinnamon.

And nothing better than cinnamon in a sweet bread unless you are adding apples.

This Dutch Apple Bread was first made too many years ago to count by my sister, who passed away suddenly ten years ago.

I remember she made it the first time at Christmas, and I loved it at first bite. It became along with my Mom’s so delicious Christmas cookies a Christmas tradition.

I think I ate that Apple Loaf before during and after Christmas dinner and all day long.

This is the perfect quick bread to share with friends and family. A fast and easy loaf to make and take for a dinner at friends. A moist and soft loaf with just the right balance of cinnamon and apple.
