I used to watch my grandma make this Amish Cinnamon Bread. I remembered her telling me that when I grow older she will teach me how to make it and that she did! I have been making this ever since. This recipe is a keeper and will always have a special place in my heart. It’s super easy to make, you don’t need to knead the dough, just dump everything in loaf pans, sprinkle with cinnamon, and bake. It’s perfect to serve for breakfast and dessert, but I eat it whenever I want! This sweet bread is what every family needs and you got to share this with your loved ones and friends to show them how much you love them.
