My oven broke this week. Didn’t really phase the kids and my husband loved it because we ordered pizza and ate stir-fry (3 times). My kids may have been wondering why I was so elated when the repair guy finally came with the part that we needed and fixed my little oven.

I mean, come on. To be without an oven over the holidays? To be without an oven during my baking fest time of the year?! Thank goodness it only lasted 4 days. It could have been worse, yo.  So, this past weekend, the baking began. And it will continue all week long. Cookies, brownies, bread, my Christmas crack. .  oh yes. .  must make the Christmas crack. And a couple pies and tarts in between.

I love baking bread because it’s easy to wrap and give away and can stay fresh for a few days. And the smell fills your kitchen and is just divine. These Mini Apple Cinnamon Spice Cakes are perfect for this time of the year! I’m going to bake some more for friends and P’s and M’s teachers. When making my spice cakes, I love adding apple sauce.

The Tree Top apple sauce really helps to create a moist, delicious, flavorful bread and with natural sweeteners from the apples only and no added sugar, you gotta love it. Oh, and I added walnuts for some texture. .  because that’s what I do.

    Something about this week just makes us all want to cook with cinnamon and apples, huh? (Of course, I strongly believe that cinnamon and apples are good any time, any way.) These look great and pretty easy, too. I linked to your post on my blog at http://www.rawinthemiddle.com/link-love-5/ Have a fantastic day!

    Can I use muffin pan? Don’t want to go out & buy a mini loaves pan. Thanks. Oh, & the cloves don’t overpower the taste if the bread?

      Hi Karen,
      Sure, yes of course you can use a muffin pan. . the baking time and temp may vary . . so just watch your muffins in the oven! and no, the cloves do not overpower, but enhance the spice cakes.

    I just made these. They were pretty good. I added diced apples and reduced the amount of chopped walnuts. I also substituted Coconut Oil for Vegetable Oil. I will most likely make these again, however, I am going to reduce the amount of clove. It was a little strong for my liking. I am thinking about adding some kind of frosting drizzle on top. They definitely came out fluffy!
