Hello Friends! Happy Tuesday ( whew! that means monday is over). I hope you find yourself with a cup of good coffee in hand and a nice comfy chair to sit in. I also hope you had a great Valentine’s Day!
I hope you got lots of flowers and chocolates last weekend. And had a romantic evening to boot! As for me, I had a nice Valentine’s breakfast with my loves and then a series of un-romantic movies followed plus a lot of learning packages for the little one to study and answer.
Sunday was plant shopping with mother. It was a busy weekend…. followed by a busier monday.
I think I scheduled too much to do’s for this week so good luck to me.
Anyway, I was able to score a short nap time just before lunch. A short nap time equals zen for me for the whole day. So I think I’m good.
Plus there’s leftover smell of Apples and Cinnamon from yesterday’s baking so the house smells fantastic. The smell of good food = aromatheraphy.
I have a fragrant and perfectly spiced loaf of bread for you today called Apple Cinnamon Bread. Guaranteed to satisfy your apple-cinnamon cravings and leave your house smelling good.
This is just the thing to make just in case anyone of you finds a two week old Apple in your refrigerator or too much apple in your fruit basket.
It’s very creamy, soft, and a little dense. It’s also crumbly and toasted on top because of finely chopped apples, cinnamon, and brown sugar that has caramelized, making it the perfect pair with that good coffee of yours. It’s a quick bread — almost a one bowl recipe.
I missed you. Thanks for dropping by today.
xoxo, Peachy

I usually don’t do a lot of apple related baking unless it’s fall because we seem to have an abundance of apples at that time. However, I just might have to make an exception for this.
This is really delicious.
