If you’re a theme park fan, I would bet money you’ve heard of Dollywood!

CINNAMON BREAD!

This Tennessee theme park is one of my favorite theme parks in the world, thanks to its great thrill rides, beautiful atmosphere, and amazing food. If you’re going to the theme park, I have one snack recommendation that blows the rest of them away. I’m here to scream from the rooftops about how much we love Cinnamon Bread!

When I told my friends and family that I was going to Dollywood, the first thing everyone asked me was, “Are you getting the cinnamon bread?” THAT’s how famous this snack is. Inside the theme park, if you head over to Craftsman’s Valley and to the Grist Mill, you can find the world-famous Cinnamon Bread. (Okay, even if it isn’t world-famous, I think it should be).

Cinnamon Bread

The Grist Mill bakes thousands of loaves of fresh Cinnamon Bread every day, and they can still run out on busy days! When I stopped by the walk-up stand, I only waited for 15 minutes to grab our snack. Compared to later in the day, this was a relatively short wait!

The Grist Mill

For $12.99, you can get a loaf of Cinnamon Bread and a side of icing. For $1.59, you can get extra icing or a side of Apple Butter.  During our stop by, I grabbed extra icing and apple butter because why not? There were 4 people in my group, and we got two loaves. You might be thinking that’s too much, I’m here to say it might not have been enough.

This is heavenly

This bread is baked so you can easily pull it apart, and it’s covered in cinnamon, butter, and a sweet glaze that melts into the fluffy bread. The bread is light and fluffy, but not underbaked. The cinnamon and butter on top are baked long enough, so it has a nice crunch which balances beautifully with the fluffy bread.

Look at that crust!

Once you pull out the bread, you’ll notice a sweet glaze of butter and sugar in the bottom of the pan. I am begging you to dip this bread into that glaze! It makes it the perfect bite every time. The icing is just thick enough to pour or dip your bite in. It almost reminds us of a fluffier, more complex cinnamon roll once you add the icing.

Our icing and apple butter!

If you’ve never had apple butter, it’s a slightly thicker, more caramelized version of apple sauce. It has a cinnamon-forward flavor that’s warm and melts in your mouth. It pairs perfectly with the bread because it’s still sweet but not in a sugary way like the icing is.

I am obsessed with this!

You can get this snack all around the park, but Grist Mill is its most famous location. If you’re staying in the Dollywood Resorts, you can actually order it directly to your room. They have a door card you can fill out the night before, and then the next morning, you can get breakfast and coffee delivered directly to your room.

Cinnamon Bread in our hotel room!

This snack is easily the park’s most famous bite, but it isn’t for everyone! If you don’t love super-sweet treats or heavily spiced desserts, this might not be the meal for you. If you love cinnamon rolls, elevated breakfast bites, and a shareable dessert, this is a great option for you. I personally love to get one for the park and another to take home with me at the end of the day.
