Apple Cinnamon Bread

This homemade apple cinnamon bread is the ultimate comforting dessert for the holidays. I chose to make this recipe with monk fruit sweetener to keep the glycemic index low and lower the calories and carbs. If you don’t have monk fruit at home, honey or coconut sugar can be used as well. Serve this apple bread with a cup of your favorite tea and enjoy freshly baked out of the oven. It can be stored on the counter for two days or in the fridge for five days. The bread can also be frozen and stored in the freezer for three months. Make sure to let it cool completely, place in a zip lock bag and in the freezer.
