Taste of Our Home Tuesday: Amish Cinnamon Bread

I found this yummy recipe on Pinterest one day.  It looked fairly easy so I gave it a try.  The bread is very moist and reminded me of coffee cake.  I didn't want 2 loaves at the time so I halved the recipe.  It came out wonderfully.  We will be making this bread often!  Enjoy!
