Cinnamon Love with Apple Filling by Bread Talk Philippines


Those who love to eat apple pie must try the Cinnamon Love by Bread Talk. There is a lot of cinnamon on top with frosting yet when you bite into it has apple filling inside you may think it is custard because it is creamy. 

The Cinnamon Love is not too sweet and not that messy to eat just using your hands.

Bread Talk sells per piece for PHP 41.00 ($0.71).

It was my first time seeing it at Bread Talk without a sign. I had asked the employee at the cashier what was the name and the price.
