This apple bread is easy to make and will make your house smell amazing.

When I was a kid one of my favorite desserts was apple pie. My mom used to make homemade apple pie and it was my absolute favorite! While I still make homemade apple pies, I like to make almost every other apple recipe when I see apples on sale at the store - apple crisp, apple dump cake, apple oat muffins and now this apple bread!

Whenever I have to cut fresh apples for a recipe, I always use an apple slicer because it cores and slices my apples at once. I use a knife to remove the peels and then slice the apples into smaller bite sizes for my recipe.

This apple batter seems quite dry and crumbly while mixing, but cooks into a beautiful, dense bread.

Plus making this bread will make your house warm and smell amazing! With all the apple cinnamon aroma, you'll feel like fall is right around the corner!

Adding a powdered sugar glaze to this bread makes it the perfect compliment to your morning brunch or as an evening snack with a hot cup of coffee.
