cinnamon apple sticky bread




the christmas holidays are my favorite time of the year. it's a time for family and a time for making memories, creating traditions and teaching our kids about slowing down and appreciating what they have. for me it's also a time for being home together, taking time to just be. this means jammies, board games, books, movies and the opportunity for me to fill our home with delicious food. yesterday was definitely one of those days. late night new years eve fun, left us sleeping in late and cleaning up after all our previous night fun. so i took the opportunity to make a yummy warm treat as a reward for the kids and my hard work. this yummy warm bread is an old and easy recipe. it is nothing fancy and not gourmet, but worth the smiles it receives from all who eat it. so here you go, make some memories and smiles of your own.
