Braided Apple Bread

This recipe is my ode to Butter Braid, featuring much more filling and a more satisfying, breadier dough than the original. The bread’s dough is adapted from my Cinnamon Sugar Tea Ring recipe. It's a simple, soft and versatile dough that lets the cinnamon-apple filling shine. This apple bread tastes great straight out of the oven, eaten cold out of the fridge, or reheated the next day.

Espresso Swirl Loaf Cake

When I was a kid, my parents and I used to visit family in California during the summers. On one of our trips, I distinctly remember a coffee cake sitting on my aunt's dining room table. I thought it looked like the most delicious thing in the world, but my mom told me not eat any. I was a pretty obedient kid, so I held out as long as I could. But one morning, I couldn’t resist any longer. I woke up before everyone else and snuck a slice.
