Apple bread

Got this recipe from the in-laws and made some for the "pumpkin fest"(late halloween) party.  To quote: "This is Oh My God stop the wars and get some of this bread, good"


I mis-read the apples and thought it said three apples and not 3 cups but I had put in 5 apples because that is what my mother-in-law told me (and gave me from their picking trip).   

Follow directions exactly! Mix the wet and dry ingredients in separate bowls for best results.

Ingredients
  • cooking spray or Criso
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • 3 cups apples - peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Prepare 2 loaf pans (8 1/2x4 1/2-inch loaf pans) with cooking spray or Crisco.
  2. Mix flour, baking soda, salt, walnuts, and apples in a large bowl. Whisk oil, sugar, eggs, and cinnamon together in a small bowl; add to flour mixture and mix until just moistened. Evenly divide mixture between prepared loaf pans.
  3. Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 90 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

  1. We went with 2 loaves, we returned with 1. Considering the amount of other available food, this is impressive (and the other loaf was hidden upstairs whilst peoples were down).
