Baking in Winter

I love to bake but in summer having the oven on for that long and opening and closing the door makes the house really warm (we don't have air conditioning either). This means, I do most of my baking in the fall and winter. However, I have hardly baked at all this winter and now spring is right around the corner! I'm thinking I should bake a loaf of bread. Pumpkin bread is good for fall, banana bread is good all the time (but bananas aren't exactly at their cheapest right now), chocolate chip zucchini bread is also good (but again, zucchini isn't cheap yet). I think this leaves me with scouring the internet for a new recipe or making apple cinnamon bread. I love apple cinnamon bread and it seems like a perfect way to warm up on a cold day but my husband doesn't like the little hunks of apple in it. I wonder if I could make a variation of it using apple sauce or something to give it the right flavor. I also was thinking I should bake a LOT these next couple weeks and then freeze everything so we can enjoy baked goods in the warmer months but I'm not sure how long they'd last in the freezer. Anyone have any good tips?
