So another idea of what to do with all these frickin’ apples… Cinnamon Apple Bread! I wasn’t totally satisfied with the recipe I used last night, so tonight’s recipe was modified a bit to add among other things, some brown sugar. It’s delicious and made my kitchen smell wonderful! I’m going to make a bunch of this recipe and freeze them for winter!
