Apple Bread

Oh I love this time of season for the apples.  So crisp when they are fresh.  Today we baked Apple Pull-Apart Bread.  I found the recipe at Julie's Eats and Treats.

                   I made a loaf at home last night. 
It smelled so good that my husband had to try it before I took it to school.

This recipe offered the children lots of cutting practice.  We used scissors
               and knives to cut the apples into small chunks.

       Then we added brown sugar and cinnamon to the apples. 
                         Mixing it to coat the apples.

Next we cut up the bread dough into little pieces.  Sometimes getting help
                                   how to hold the scissors.

     The bread is assembled in layers and we talked about patterns. 
                A layer of bread, a layer of apples, then repeat.

Drizzle each layer with melted butter and it’s ready for a warm oven
                                     to rise for an hour.

     Everyone wanted to try and some wanted an extra piece.
