Does the aroma of sweet bread coming out of the oven make your mouth water? Mine too. Try this simple Apple Cinnamon Bread recipe. Serve it with breakfast, lunch or dinner. There is an optional powdered sugar glaze that makes it work well as dessert. Or you can serve it with a little whipped topping or ice cream. It won’t last long so you may want to make two loaves.
