I really do love the fall. I love the atmosphere, the change of season, and the fresh start that seems to accompany each shift in temperature. Fall makes me think of pumpkin and apple everything, and since this year our apple trees are producing like crazy we are excited to be able to share so many seasonal and homemade apple favorites. This recipe for apple bread is a great way to incorporate this fruit into a dessert that is super tasty not to mention the perfect thing to grab on the go or just sit down and enjoy the fall colors with. Either way it is a fun recipe to join your kitchen favorites as one you can look forward to each year.
