Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9×5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Spray with nonstick spray and set aside.

3. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan.
4. Bake in preheated oven 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

I enjoy your recipes and will make this bread this week. I have ask you if adding fresh apple is ok. Should I cook the apples first or just add fresh sliced apple. Also what apple can I use.
Thank you Jolene. Can’t wait to try this recipe.

Hi Bing!
I can’t wait for you to try this one! It’s such a great fall bake. In terms of adding apple to the bread, yes you can definitely do that! I recommend peeling the apples and either adding diced apples, or grated. If you do diced apples, you could pour half the batter in the pan, add the diced apples, then pour the remaining batter on top, so you have a distinct apple layer. If you grate the apples, you can just add it directly in with the batter. But it’s up to you how you incorporate it.
I would recommend using a Honeycrisp apple. I like the balance of sweetness and tartness of these apples, and they hold their shape well when baked.
With the addition of the apples it could take a touch longer to bake. Just keep an eye on it and if the top is getting too dark, place a piece of tinfoil over top so that the top doesn’t get too dark.
Happy baking!
