Blue Ribbon Recipe

Oh yum! This Amish cinnamon bread tastes as if it's from a specialty shop. No one needs to know how incredibly easy it is to make. This quick bread is similar in flavor to a cinnamon coffee cake. The bread is super tender, and the cinnamon sugar is spread throughout. It has a wonderful spice with just the right amount of sweetness. Enjoy a slice as a light dessert or a snack with afternoon tea or coffee.
