Fall is here and everywhere I look there are pumpkins and apples. I am always torn as to what warm treat I’m going to make and what the main ingredient will be. Since I couldn’t decide this year I decided to combine the two Fall stars to make this wonderful warm, spiced, bread.
This recipe has no oil in it, instead I used applesauce. Apple cider is added in as well, this adds depth to the flavor of the bread. The cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves add a warmness that screams FALL and cool weather! While it is baking it will fill your home with a smell so good you won’t be able to wait to have a piece.
My daughter had a piece and she asked me to make more. I chuckled a little because there was still a WHOLE loaf left!! I’m glad she liked it that much! I hope you like it that much too. Leave a comment below and let me know.
*Since there is applesauce and apple cider it adds a little stickiness to the outside of the bread.

Have leftover apple cider? Make some applesauce. I have a great, easy RECIPE.
Do you prefer pumpkin or apple this time of year? I love both and can’t get enough of them.
