Cinnamon Apple Bread Recipe
And talking about this bread, this is so tasty you guys! There is a nuttiness because of Pecan, then there are the apples - the star of the show which makes the recipe so good...!
Besides that, there is cream cheese. I guess, the cream cheese brings a beautiful creamy and tarty element to our bread and in return makes our bread much moist.
The addition of cream cheese also fills in for too much sweetness which would have happened since we are using Red Delicious Apples here.

My Bread Rises and then Collapses from the Middle
If this is the case with you, then I am going to tell you exactly why it happens. Don't fret about it. It has happened with me quite a few times but, then it is practice - that has made me perfect.
So, there can be few reasons for that:
- Too Much Moisture - Did you happen to add too much oil or milk or butter. Sometimes too much moisture collapses the bread.
- Too Much Beating - When you overbeat the batter, you are gonna burst the air bubbles, and also the flour is going to create gluten. Gluten won't allow you air bubbles to release. As a result, the air bubbles apply huge pressure and therefore there is a crack on the top. So never overbeat. Beat just enough. This will make sure that there are air bubbles and that will make your bread rise
