Cinnamon Apple Bread (Loaf Cake)
Apples are undoubtedly the stars of the fall season, but more importantly the star of my kitchen. Fruits come and go from my fruit bowl, depending on the season. But apples are a constant, to the delight of my children, who prefer apples to any other fruit.
In the autumn, however, apples are perfect for adding to desserts. The most iconic fall dessert is mom’s apple cake, and, of course, plum apple crumble!
But this apple bread recipe also makes for a season specialty. We love it! With a subtle caramel, cinnamon, and vanilla flavor and a slightly moist texture, this apple cake has made its way onto my list of fall favorites. You have to try it, too; I promise you’ll love it!
