Oh, I love this bread! It has a nice subtle sweetness thanks to the apples and raisins without being sickingly sweet. I was happy I didn't have to peel, core and chop apples either. I added a heaping 1/2 cup of walnuts and 1/4 teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg. Good directions, too. Thanks go also to my bread machine for prepping the dough. It was worth the wait of two risings to dig into this bread. I slathered a slice with butter and agave nectar! Mmmm!
