By now I am assuming you have gone apple picking if you have apple orchards by you. If you have not or unable to, put on some cozy sweaters and head to your local supermarket to get some apples!

Can’t you tell we love apple picking!?

Today I am sharing this delicious homemade apple bread with my favorite ingredient- cream cheese filling.
