Apple Bread

Image to follow shortly.  I can't find it.

3 cups flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups apples, peeled and chopped

  1. Preheat oven to 325.  Grease the bottoms only of two loaf pans.


  2. Combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.


  3. Beat the eggs.  Add the vegetable oil, sugar and vanilla to the eggs, and mix until well incorporated. Incorporate the flour mixture into the eggs mixture until just blended.  Fold in the apples. Divide the batter evenly between the two loaf pans.


  4. Bake for 75 minuts or until a toothpick inserted deeply into the center of the bread comes out clean.

THINGS I CHANGED:

  • Okay, I need to be honest here.  This is NOT a new recipe for my family.  I've been making this bread since last fall when I discovered it online somewhere.  I keep losing it, so I'm putting it here so that I won't lose it again.


  • I used a Pampered Chef spice called Cinnamon Plus instead of regular cinnamon, which I am out of.  Cinnamon Plus also has allspice and a few other spices.  It's good stuff.

WHAT I LEARNED:

  • I know that this is a great recipe.  I didn't learn anything from this particular baking, but I will tell you that few recipes fill your house with a better scent than this bread baking does.

OVERALL OPINIONS:

This is a household favorite.  We pick apples every fall at a local orchard, and I must make thirty loaves throughout the fall and winter.  We really enjoy it.
