For the past few years, pumpkin has become a dominating, fall-time obsession. Everything from coffee to chocolates, and even dog biscuits are flavored with this festive gourd. While I admit, I do love a good pumpkin latte, there is another fall flavor I love even more. Apples! Whether they’re candied, baked or made into cider, apples are the perfect fall treat.
In just a couple of days, September will be here. So to celebrate the beginning of this fun season, I created a yummy apple and cream cheese bread. Made with homemade applesauce and a delicious cream cheese filling, this recipe is sure to be a family favorite!
