Apple Breakfast Bread
Start your day on a sweet note with this Apple Breakfast Bread. For this amazing delicacy, start by mixing 1/2 cup butter and 1 cup sugar in a bowl till they’re creamy, and then beat in 2 eggs.
In a different bowl, sift together 2 cups flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, a dash of salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon cloves. Add pre-blended butter, sugar, and egg mix to your dry-sifted ingredients.

Cranapana Bread
Cranapana Bread is a delightful combination of berries and fruits that just screams festivities in every bite. And if you haven’t quite worked out what the name means, it’s a mouthful of a combination — cranberries, apple, and banana!
For this delightful dish, in a bowl mix 2.5 cups flour, 1 cup white sugar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 3/4 cups milk, and 2 eggs (beaten) until well combined. Next, stir in your 1 cup chopped cranberries, 1 mushed banana, and 1 apple (peeled and cored) until they’re all well combined with the batter.
Then pour the mixture into a prepared pan. Bake for an hour at 350°F until a toothpick comes out clean, and then enjoy!
Apple-Walnut Cinnamon Roll Monkey Bread
This pull-apart bread layers fresh apples and toasted walnuts, infusing your home with the delightful aroma of cinnamon and nutmeg as it bakes.
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F and brushing a fluted tube pan with 1 tablespoon of melted butter. In a bowl, combine white sugar, ground cinnamon, and freshly ground nutmeg. Mix 1/4 cup of this spiced sugar with minced apples, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Next, separate the cinnamon roll dough, cutting it into quarters and reserving the icing. Begin layering in the prepared pan. Start with 1/2 of the apple mixture and 1/2 of the toasted walnuts at the bottom. Roll 1/2 of the cinnamon roll quarters in the remaining spiced sugar and arrange them atop the apples and walnuts.
Drizzle 1/2 of the remaining melted butter over the dough. Repeat this process. Bake this for around 45 minutes. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then flip it onto a plate. Allow to cool for a further five minutes before generously coating it with the icing. Perfect!
