Hiii!!! We're back in Seattle!! It took me a little bit longer to get over the jet lag than I thought. That business is no joke but I'm finally back on track and just in time for the start of autumn! And it couldn't look more like fall outside; the leaves are changing, a brisk breeze is blowing, and the clouds have been rolling in and out all day. Also it FINALLY cooled down and I can actually use the oven and bake again. So lets start Autumn off strong with a little Cinnamon Apple Bread!
Ok so quick note: YES! We're got married!!! I'm officially a Missus ????. Then we went on an AMAZING vacation to Japan and Hawaii, almost a full two weeks away! I can't wait to tell you all about it, but in leiu of my ridiculous jet lag I haven't been able to get myself around to uploading the bajillion photos that I took. But I promise they'll be coming shortly!
In the meantime, let's talk about this Cinnamon Apple Bread.
I'm pretty sure you're all aware by now of how much I love autumn. I've only been talking since.....well probably last autumn. This particular recipe? I made at the beginning of August because it was just SO close. Yet so far....Took till this weekend for the weather to really prove it was time for fall! Although honestly, I was in extremely hot and sticky yet absolutely awesome Japan and then a quick stint in Hawaii so maybe it was just me ????.
But now the Autumn equinox is behind us and my favorite time of year has begun. Surprisingly enough, this Cinnamon Apple Bread doesn't even have pumpkin spice in it! Just cinnamon, nutmeg and all spice ????.
And it's de-lish! If I do say so myself ????. Full of all that yummy apple and walnut goodness that you crave in the fall. A little brown sugar and some more spices are mixed together with them to lend this bread even more flavor. Also, nothing tricky here! Mix the dry, mix the wet, combine, bake, done.
I guess this is more of a breakfast bread, I ate this at pretty much every meal every day while it was in the house. A definite fall staple!
Eat a slice of this Cinnamon Apple Bread right out of the oven with a pat of butter! Disclaimer: It might fall apart a bit when cut if it's right out of the oven. It needs a few minutes to cool and firm up, but honestly, slice and eat it right away, it's totally worth it.

I'm not sure if my comment went through last time. I've made this several times and it's very good - but the cooking time for me is consistently 90 minutes. I cover the edges with foil after an hour and then cook an additional 30 minutes til done. I don't have oven issues with other recipes.

Hi Miranda! It's definitely possible that this recipe may take 90 minutes in your oven. Ovens widely vary and can be so finicky!
