Apple Bread on a cutting board

Ok, I must admit. I have never made Apple Bread before. But, I love Apple Cinnamon Muffins, so why not make an Apple Bread right? Seems easy enough? Just put it in a large loaf pan instead of muffin tins and BAM Apple Bread… man my intelligence just blows me away sometimes. 🙂 hehe…

I am all about the breakfast that you can “grab and go”, especially on those mornings when it is a 1 or 2 time “snooze button” morning.  Although, now that I’m at home with my little man it is not as necessary. But still a good option when needed. Plus, the grab and go breakfasts are always tastier. But maybe it’s because there’s just more sugar in that type of breakfast! 🙂  This Apple Bread will be the perfect Breakfast bread for you and your family. If you can hold off on eating it till breakfast!

How to Make Apple Bread

To get started, preheat the oven to 350º.  Spray an 8×4 loaf pan with cooking spray and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all purpose flour and 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour.
