A yummy recipe for Apple Cinnamon Swirl Bread loaded with fresh apples and swirls of cinnamon and brown sugar.

I don’t know what I would do without my KitchenAid Stand Mixer. I got my first one (yes I have two) about 20 years ago as a birthday present. It was the best present ever! It has been a workhorse in my kitchen for years making everything from cookies, cakes, pizza dough, you name it. My first KitchenAid Stand Mixer works just as good as the first time I used it years ago and one day I look forward to passing it down to my little girl.

A few years ago I treated myself to a new one in cobalt blue with a few different features including a bigger bowl and a lift stand instead of a tilt back which my other one is. I love them both and use them both frequently.

One of the many reasons I love KitchenAid Stand Mixers aside from their durability and features is the colors. There are so many pretty colors, I want them all! How’s a girl to choose? Now they have a new line of black stainless steel appliances that I am drooling over as well! It would look amazing in our newly remodeled kitchen. Something I’ll have to put on my Christmas list to Santa…just saying!

My KitchenAid collection wouldn’t be complete without a handheld mixer. It’s a must have! To whip up a batch of brownies or if I need to mix something up quickly I also have my handheld mixer close by.

One of my favorite things to make in my KitchenAid Stand Mixer is bread. From quick breads to yeast breads my stand mixer has whipped up loaves and loaves of different breads.

With fall at our doorstep it’s time to start thinking of yummy apple recipes. I couldn’t resist making a tasty apple bread filled with swirls of cinnamon and brown sugar. Not only is this bread moist and delicious, it’s a quick bread so it’s super easy too.
