Apple & Cinnamon Loaf

Keep your loaf fresh by storing it at room temperature in a plastic bag or bread bag. This stops the bread from drying out and keeps it soft and tasty for days. If you want to keep it longer, pop it in a freezer bag and freeze for up to four months. To thaw, just leave it in the packaging or wrap in paper towel and microwave in 10-second bursts until soft.

This loaf is delicious straight from the bag, but it's even better lightly toasted with a bit of butter melting into all those lovely apple pieces. Try it as French toast for a weekend treat, or serve thick slices with a cuppa for afternoon tea. The sweet apple and cinnamon flavours also make it a hit with the littlies for school lunches or after-school snacks.

Absolutely! A light toasting brings out the cinnamon aroma beautifully and makes the apple pieces even more flavourful. You can also warm slices gently in the oven wrapped in foil, or give them a quick 10-second burst in the microwave. Just don't overdo it, as you want to keep that lovely soft texture while warming through the sweet apple and cinnamon goodness.
