I love everything about fall. But I suppose that’s a pretty common sentiment. I mean, c’mon! The trees are gorgeous (depending on where you live), the whether is starting to cool off, Pumpkins are everywhere, and…

Apples!

I gotta say, sometimes I feel a little bit bad during the fall that we (a lot of us that is) skip right over apple in favor of pumpkin. But we can’t forget apples! Not when they’re pretty much the most versatile fruit on the planet.

We made this gluten-free apple streusel bread for the first time last fall, before we started thinking in terms of grain-free and paleo, and to be honest, it’s just too yummy to quit!

There is nothing quite as yummy as a crunchy cinnamon-sugar coating surrounding a soft, tart apple. Add that to the top of a loaf of soft, sweet bread, with yet another layer of – this time soft – cinnamon/sugar/apple goodness inside. Yum!

I probably don’t need to tell you how amazing the whole combination is when it’s hot and slathered with butter.

I always shy away from making whole loaves of baked goods, because I love them so much, and as most of us ladies know, the last thing we need is to load up on sugary carbs. But then I give in and do it anyway, and in this case at least, the kids gobbled the apple bread up so fast that I didn’t have any worries about being tempted by leftovers.

It’s a win-win – they were fully satisfied by their snack, and we had no leftovers. Yay!
