I put in a bit too much yeast but it worked wonderfully. I used the Pampered Chef Sweet Cinnamon Sprinkle instead of straight cinnamon though.

This was lousy bread, it didn't even back well. I went back to proof my yeast to make sure it was viable, because this loaf just didn't mix right

I was quite disappointed in this recipe. It is very bland tasting. On the plus side, it does have a nice texture.

This is a tasty bread with a more dense texture. I was a bit disappointed that you really don't get any apple chunks in the bread and wonder if you could add the filling at a later time in the cycle? The only changes I made was to subsitute a 1/4 of the pie filling with spiced apple butter. Very tasty and great smelling bread!

The recipe name leads you to expect a very sweet bread, which this is not...but that's OK! It's still great. Possible reasons for failure in other cooks' attempts at this bread could include the previously mentioned abundance of sugar in the recipe(pie filling, apple juice, additional white sugar), as well as the cinnamon. Cinnamon (like garlic) is a natural enemy of yeast! I've found the best way to work around this is to add the cinnamon later in the cycle - my machine has a beeper that tells you when to add ingredients such as raisins or nuts toward the end of the knead cycle, and that's when I sprinkle in the cinnamon. As for the sugar, I didn't have a problem but perhaps you could try reduced sugar pie filling?

Oh, my gosh! This was my first loaf of bread to bake in my bread machine. The bread was not sweet...AT ALL! The loaf was a little chewy. My husband and I thought the recipe submitter left out an ingredient or two. I followed the directions exactly. It looked good until we tasted it. I will not ever try to make it again.
