  1. Delicious! Rich-tasting because off all the eggs and oil. I sprinkled the top of the loaves with cinnamon sugar before baking and it made a delightful little sugary crust on top. My only suggestion is to bake it for 50 - 60 minutes, and check on it. I baked for 60 minutes without checking on it and it got a little overcooked. Otherwise a very yummy loaf of teatime bread!
     
  2. WOW....I put this in the oven after supper last nite, mixed up quick and easy and 2 nice loaves. By half time of Monday night football, the kids and I had devoured one warm loaf! I managed to hide 2 slices for myself for lunch today, BUT I made the mistake of letting them sit on my desk and I kept picking at them until they were gone. That was before 9am. OMG I never thought when I looked at these just out of the oven that they would be so scrumptious. I did sprinkle the top with cinnamon and sugar, AND I used half oil and half unsweetened applesauce and baked about 50 minutes. Three Jonathan apples gave me over 2 cups but I dumped them all in anyway. Making 2 more loaves tonite! Fantastic!
     
  3. This is a five star and more recipe! The flavour is great. I used 3 granny smith's apples, which did give me slightly over 2 cups, but I popped it all in anyway. And it turned out WONDERFUL. But I think i won't chop the apples up so fine the next time cos, it i would like to TASTE TASTE apple bits, but that is totally a personal preference. It had just the right amount of cinnamon. After popping the first one into the oven, the aroma was just over-whelming, I just HAD to go do another batch. And it was the right thing to do for sure. Four loaves, and I have only got half a loaf left in less than 7 hours. Everyone has attacked them. 5 stars and more!
     
  4. Very moist and tastey. Half way through preparation, I realized that I could not locate our second loaf pan. I,instead, used a Bundt pan for the entire recipe. I baked for 60 minutes and topped with Powdered Sugar. My wife plans on taking this bread for a bake sale at our kid's school.
     
  5. This is INCREDIBLE - one of the best sweet breads I've ever had. Moist, sweet, lots of tart apples to cut the sweetness....I can't even adequately describe how great this is. I also put some cinnamon sugar on top, added a nice cinnamony crunch. Definitely try this - it'll be devoured by everyone within reach of it. Double the recipe, like I did - you'll be glad you have extra on hand.

  1. My family loved it. Substituted 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce for 1/2 cup of oil. Sprinkled lightly with cinnamon/sugar on top before baking. Used 2 1/3 cups apples just because that was what was there when I finished chopping. Only baked for 50 minutes. Froze one loaf. Will see how it unfreezes.
     
  2. As we are trying to keep sugar intake down and fat, I substituted the oil for applesauce and the sugar for splenda. Also switched to whole wheat flour. Not bad but think next time I will just swap out half the oil and 1/ 2 the sugar. Not bad though with the swaps it came to 2.8 points on the weight watcher freestyle points for one slice. top with sugarfree apple butter and becomes a good treat for not many points.
     
  3. I've made this recipe twice now. The first time I made it I followed the recipe exactly and oh my gosh was it delicious. I was licking the batter off the spatula after putting the pans in the oven. I had some red delicious apples that I wanted to get rid of and this was the perfect recipe to hide them in. My co-workers devoured them. The second time I made them I decided to play with the recipe a little. I loved how it turned out the first time, but wanted more apple flavor. I substituted apple sauce for half the oil and I put in 3 cups of apple chunks instead of 2 like the recipe calls for. It was just as good with the changes. Another change I made was that I made 24 muffins out of the batter instead of 2 loaves. They are the perfect size serving. I only had to cook them for 25 minutes at 350°. I thought they turned out more moist as muffins since I didn't have to cook them forever to make sure the middle was cooked.
     
  4. I followed this recipe for the most part, but added 2 tsp cinnamon instead of 1 1/2 also added 1/2 tsp powdered ginger, 1/4 tsp ground gloves and instead of 2 cups of white sugar I used 1 1/2 C. light brown sugar. I agree to check on the baking time before the hour is up, it came out a little dry, but was still delicious. I'd give it 5 stars except I think part of the reason it was so amazing were my little added spices so can't give it the 5 but an excellent recipe.
     
  5. Delicious recipe! I made a few modifications. I added a medium banana (defrosted from freezer) for 1/2 the sugar. I also used 1/2 coconut oil, 1/2 mashed apples (in the vitamix). I used whole wheat pastry dough instead of all purpose flour. Sprinkled cinnamon and sugar on top before baking. Followed suggestions and checked it at 50 minutes. It was done. So good!
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Me and my boyfriend have been together for 11 years now. We live on 40 acres and have 6 dogs and 4 Tennessee Walkers. We both work a lot of hours so there is never enough time in a day to get everything done. I absolutely love the outdoors. I also enjoy lifting weights, reading and playing with all of my beautiful animals. I absolutely love, love and love to cook. I like to cook a variety of things and also like love to bake. I like to just get in the kitchen and experiment with different things. If something does not turn out for me such as pie crust or gravy I will keep trying until I can make it work. Only problem is, when I finally make it work it may not work again the time after that. It is fun though and I do consider myself a pretty good cook for the most part. I also love slow cooker recipes. Those are my most favorite in the winter months.
