Are you looking for a not-to-sweet, almost-pound-not-quite-coffee cake?
This apple cinnamon loaf is absolutely delicious loaf and takes no time at all to put together.
Moist and wonderfully sweet.
This recipe is a great base for add-in’s such as raisins, cranberries or walnuts but it’s perfectly fine all by itself and goes great with a nice cup of coffee.

OMG with fall coming this so perfect for a weekend snack for son. Warm apple cinnamon bread with tea.
I’m glad I read this AFTER lunch. I’m excited to get home and test this out. I bet your house smells wonderful!
I wish your photo was larger so I could see this yummy sounding dessert better. I also love that you included a substitution option
Yum! With Fall right around the corner this Apple Cinnamon Loaf sounds PERFECT! I am a big fan of apple, cinnamon and bread. Lots of bread. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
I love my apple cinnamon oatmeal in the morning! I know I would love this recipe because I can smell it in my head through the computer right now! 🙂
I love how warm and inviting my kitchen is when I have this loaf in my oven! I’m whipping up a batch at nap time so we have something to nibble on this afternoon 🙂
I love how apples and cinnamon smell when they’re cooking. I’d love to give this a try too.
It’s going to be apple season here soon and this recipe is perfect timing. My husband loves everything apple: crisp, bars, sauce, pie, and breads! I’ll definitely be trying this apple cinnamon loaf!
i LOVE Apple season is almost here! Anything baked with apples and cinnamon are a total hit in my house and this sounds delicious!
Apples and cinnamon are a great combination. I think this would be a really tasty recipe. I might try this one at home myself.
I love a snack like this for breakfast with English breakfast tea.
It would be so nice to have a loaf of this ready for the week. This sounds so good to me right now~!
I just canned up a bunch of apple pie filling today. Have some apples left. will make this.
That really sounds good. Apples will be in season soon and this is a recipe I will certainly look forward to trying.
this sounds like a dessert that I could actually make – i’m not such a great baker! It sure sounds delicious too!
Yum! This looks amazing! I think I’ll have to make some for back to school this week!
Yum. Apple cinnamon is my favorite (lemon too) I would love to make this. Sounds just amazing!
I love ushering in fall with the baking of all things yummy! This apple cinnamon loaf if going to be on my list!
What an awesome fall recipe. I’d use it for a snack or I’d put it in school lunches. Apple cinnamon is amazing.
My husband is huge apple fanatic….pies, cobbler, crisp…and I know he’d love to try this loaf too! Thanks for sharing what seems like a pretty easy and really tasty recipe!
I love apple loafs! Picture’s a little blurry but it seems like it would be great for the holidays!
Thanks! I had a wicked headache when I uploaded the picture but I have since fixed it. 🙂
i always use this repcie when making homemade white bread! its great! give it a shot!Soft Fluffy White Bread1 2/3 c. water2 Tbsp. sugar2 Tbsp. light olive oil (NOT extra virgin, it is too strong of a flavor for this bread)1 1/2 tsp. salt4 c. bread flour (don’t try to use all-purpose, it won’t work not enough protein in the flour)1 heaping Tablespoon Vital Wheat Gluten (I buy this at Wal Mart right near the yeast and flour)Put the ingredients into your bread maker in the order suggested in the manual. Select the DOUGH cycle. When the dough is done, punch it down, divide it in half, form it into loaves and put it into buttered loaf pans. Cover it and let it rise about 45 60 minutes. Heat your oven to 350 degrees. Bake bread for 45 minutes. Remove loaves from oven and cover with a kitchen towel for about 10 minutes or until you can easily shake the loaves out of the pans onto a cooling rack. When bread is cool enough to handle, put into plastic bags and tie shut, or you can slice the bread with an electric carving knife at this point and then put it in bags.* NOTE: For added nutrition, you can substitute 1 c. of whole wheat flour for one cup of the white flour. You will still get a nice soft loaf, but it will not be completely white.
This sounds delicious. I may add this to my Thanksgiving menu.
How old is your yeast? Yeast is a living thing, I know my mom makes this wondfreul white bread that is high and fluffy, she gets new yeast every three months and stores it in an airtight container in the fridge. She also has some other tricks, before she starts mixing her bread she turns on our oven to about 200 F and then as soon as it is hot she turns it off. When she is ready to let it rise the first time she puts it in the warmed oven to rise on the lowest rack.During the second rising when she is putting it into the the bread loaf pan, she minimizes her handling of the bread by spraying her hands with cooking spray to stop sticking while she quickly forms the loafs and then places them once again in the previously warmed and turned off oven to rise a second time.Prior to baking she removes them just long enough to get the oven hot again and then places them back in to bake.Also use bread flour, I know someone else said to switch to all purpose, but bread flour has more gluten or something like that. My mom should know, she’s baked fresh made-from-scratch bread for over 20 years for her own cafe, school cafeteria where she worked (she would make fresh cinnamon buns with the dough, those kids still talk about how good they were), and her catering jobs.Hope that helps
This is perfect for apple picking season!
It is apple season in Wisconsin – this recipe looks delicious – Pinned to my Bread Board
Oh man, I really need to make this. I’ve been wanting to get in the fall mood, but apples and pumpkins are usually not my thing,
Fall is such a short season here that we embrace the little time we have with it! I have been blessed with neighbours that have apple trees so we have gotten creative 🙂
Yes please! This looks amazing!
I love anything with apples. I have to give this a try.
I keep seeing all these super yummy recipes and while I love them I’m stuck because of my allergies. I can’t eat apples. 🙁 Looks delish though!
Awesome snack to have,. I could eat it all right now.
The apple cinnamon loaf sounds like a perfect fall treat! Thanks for the recipe, I would love to give this a try!
Hmmm, not sure I use raw sugar rather than white and that works, but I spsuect it does add some of the bulk that a sugar substitute wouldn’t but heck, it’s easy enough to try.
this looks delicious. i need to try this recipe asap1
This looks so yummy. Love all the apple recipes
This sounds really good. It would be great for breakfast with a cup of coffee.
I make a similar loaf without the apples for my kids in a gluten free version. Will have to add apples next time to try it.
This looks absolutely delicious! Apples and cinnamon are perfect to ring in fall.
I totally agree with you. Fall is such a short season here so we need make the most of it while we can!
That sounds so delicious. I’m sitting here trying to figure out how to make one magically appear right now.
When you find out…let me know! Ours is almost all gone and I only got one slice!
That sounds amazing. I could totally eat the whole loaf myself 😉
I could too! It is that good!
