Cinnamon Apple Quick Bread
Anyone who frequents this blog from time to time probably knows that we own a farmhouse in Umbria that we rent out to guests called Il Casale di Mele after our last name. Since Mele translates as “apples” in English, I am always on the lookout for delicious apple recipes that I can bake for our guests.
This is yet another one of those easy recipes I love that I can put together quickly and is moist and delicious. If I am baking this quick bread for guests, I often double the recipe and freeze one for later although if I do that I leave the cinnamon sugar topping off as it will get moist as it thaws. There is a fair amount of ground cinnamon in this recipe which I personally love, but feel free to decrease the amount of cinnamon if you are not as fond of cinnamon as I am.
Buon Appetito!

Hi Deborah, thank you for all the great recipes. I’m a big fan. Just checking if you think the recipe would work if I substituted half the all-purpose white flour with oat flour? Thank you
Certainly!
It’s been in the oven on 350o for almost 2 hours. Burning on the outside and raw in the middle. Could be my oven?
Karla, put an oven thermometer in your oven to check. The only other thing I can think of is that perhaps you added more liquid than was stated?
