Apple Cinnamon Quick Bread


Fuji apples were on sale at my local grocery store for .78 cents a pound, so I loaded up on them. Then I went home and started searching for some apple recipes, because I had no idea what I was going to do with this new stock I had. I happened across this recipe and gave it a shot – which I am so glad I did. This bread may appear a bit plain but it is bursting with flavor. Everyone in our house loved this bread, even the kids. Enjoy!
