The twins will be three in less than a week and Millie has decided to get stubborn when it comes to food. She's always been my "good eater" so it shocked me when she down right refused to try a bit of this apple bread. It's full of soft chunks of peeled apples, brown sugar and cinnamon...what child wouldn't love that? But she refused.

So I cut a piece into small bite sized pieces and left it sitting there on the table for her. No pressure, just sitting there like toddler bait. Would she take it?

I walked away to the kitchen and a moment of silence later I peeked around to see her happily nibbling away at the apple bread. There were a few quite "mmm's" coming from her so I slipped away before she spotted me. As I suspected, no one (not ever stubborn toddlers) can resist this moist and delicious apple bread!

Once the bread has cooled completely, remove it from the pan and dust it with lots of powdered sugar. It give this Cinnamon Apple Bread the prettiest finish!

Slice this apple bread and serve with room temperature butter, soft whipped cream cheese or plain. It really needs nothing else but a cup of coffee or a cold glass of milk (in my kids case) on the side.
