EASY CINNAMON APPLE RAISIN BREAD
This is an easy and delicious bread to prepare. Even better you only need one mixing bowl because you can throw all of the ingredients right in! Feel free to tweak the ingredients to your liking...add more cinnamon...add nuts, etc. I hope you enjoy it! Edited: I have also tried out the bread by using 1/2 whole wheat pastry flour and 1/2 regular flour, a tbl of wheat germ and less sugar to make it a tiny bit "healthier". It came out just as nice as the original.

CINNAMON CRUNCH BANANA BREAD
This easy cake - no mixer required - is a popular staple at Bakesale Betty in Oakland, Calif. Pie, cake, cookies and a legendary fried chicken sandwich are the only things on the menu, but locals start lining up long before opening time. They're that good. Betty herself, the baker Alison Barkat, adds a cinnamon-sugar topping and honey to the classic banana bread formula for a deeply caramelized, moist result.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan and line it with parchment or wax paper, leaving enough paper hanging over the sides to lift the cake out after baking. (This will prevent the topping from breaking when removing the bread from the pan.)
- Prepare the batter: In a medium bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, using a sturdy whisk, beat together oil, eggs and honey until smooth. Stir in bananas and warm water. Add dry ingredients to egg-oil mixture and stir to blend. Pour batter into prepared pan.
- Make the topping: In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, granulated sugar and cinnamon, using your fingers to break up any lumps. Sprinkle evenly over batter.
- Bake until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour, checking after 50 minutes. If topping shows signs of burning, reduce heat to 325 degrees.
- Remove to a rack and let cool in pan for 30 minutes. Use the edges of the paper to lift the cake up and out. Place on a rack (leave the paper on) and let cool before slicing and serving.
Tips for Making the Best Cinnamon Bread:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh butter, eggs, and milk will give your cinnamon bread the best flavor and texture.
- Measure your ingredients accurately: This is especially important for the baking powder and baking soda, as too much or too little can affect the rise of your bread.
- Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a light and airy bread.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Stir in the flour mixture gradually: Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough bread.
- Spread the batter evenly into the prepared loaf pan: This will help to ensure that the bread bakes evenly.
- Bake the bread at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time: Overbaking can dry out the bread, while underbaking can result in a gooey, undercooked loaf.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Cinnamon bread is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. With its warm, inviting aroma and sweet, cinnamony flavor, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're in the mood for something special, give this classic recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
