Baked Pumpkin Apple Bread

This bread was not supposed to contain pumpkin, but after a grocery haul this weekend and canned pumpkin was in my cupboard, I could not resist.

It was a good decision.

My first pumpkin dessert of the season.  No doubt, it will not be the last.

Quick breads are the easiest desserts around.  No yeast required.  Mix together wet ingredients, add in dry, pour batter into a pan and bake.  Simple.  Easy.  Pretty much food proof.

The only problem?  In our house it is easy to see one loaf be gone in under 24 hours.  A little slice here, another one there, share some with the kids.....GONE.

I guess it could be worse.
