While apple pie is an all-time favorite, it can be time-consuming to make from scratch. Why not make this homemade apple pie bread instead? Between the fresh apple chunks and generous dose of cinnamon, this moist quick bread tastes just like apple pie! Whip up a loaf (or three) and enjoy it with coffee, milk or hot apple cider. If you're craving an extra-decadent snack, top off the bread with a classic crumble topping.
