Apple Cinnamon Bread Tips

What kinds of apples should you use to make apple cinnamon bread?

It's best to use a tart apple variety—think Granny Smith, Jonagold and Braeburn—for making apple cinnamon bread. These apples tend to be more firm and hold up better during baking. However, you can throw in some Honeycrisp or other favorites from your local apple orchard.

How should you serve apple cinnamon bread?

Enjoy your apple cinnamon bread any time of day! It's great served with a cup of coffee for breakfast, to end your meal for dessert, or even gifted to a close friend. Here are other apple bread recipes to enjoy.

How should you store apple cinnamon bread?

Store your apple cinnamon bread in an airtight container on your counter. Since this recipe makes 2 loaves, you can enjoy 1 right away and freeze the other loaf. Securely wrap cooled loaf in foil, then freeze. To use, thaw at room temperature.
