The Secret’s In The Cinnamon Brown Sugar

A generous coating of cinnamon brown sugar transforms humble apples and cake-like bread into a dessert worthy of any bakery. As the loaf bakes, the sugar melts into the batter, infusing every bite with buttery sweetness and cozy spice.

Chopped fresh apples baked right into the bread contribute juicy bursts of fruit in each slice. Their tartness balances the rich caramel undertones from the brown sugar glaze we drizzle over the cooled loaf.
