I don't know much about the Amish tradition, except for what I see on TLC's Breaking Amish! But what I do know is that this Cinnamon Apple Amish Bread is so delightful. My version is without the traditional starter as I wanted to eat some bread now and didn't have the patience for 10 days! It is loaded with tart apples, cinnamon and sugar. It is the perfect quarantine comfort food during these lonesome times. So here's to continuing to pack on the quarantine 15!!!
Other awesome breads that you should check out are my Snickerdoodle Monkey bread and Best ever Banana Bread. Awesome sauce is the best thing to describe both of them!
Cinnamon apple AMish bread
Amish Friendship Bread is a chain letter of baking. It traditionally started with a mixture of flour, sugar, milk, water and yeast that is mixed together for 10 days at room temperature. You then keep some of the starter for your own loaf of bread or cake and then pass on to friends to do the same.
Well, in my case I took a different route. With the COVID-19 outbreak, my guess even my closest friends wouldn't want anything to bake with that hasn't been disinfected! So I did my recipe without the starter and added some apples. Again, I like to go off the beaten path and try different things. Needless to say, this bread turned out incredible. Even though I didn't make the starter, I will be giving out this recipe to my friends to try during the pandemic!
