This was a very simple to make apple bread, that is quite moist and delicious. I cut the recipe in half to make one loaf, but used 2 whole eggs. Though the batter was somewhat stiff it was no more so than other breads of this type that I've made. I added 1/2 tsp of nutmeg and 1/8 tsp of cloves, and used part whole wheat pastry flour. I also left out the raisins because of family dislikes. Thank you Lavender Lynn for posting this wonderful recipe - made by a Chic Chef for the ZWT 4 Germany and Benelux Countries

I just discovered this recipe 3 days ago and have prepared it twice. It is so delicious and it seems the longer it sets, the better and more moist. The apple choices make a difference. The first time I used Golden Delicious and the second, a combo of Rome (a good cooking apple) and also Fugi.

I thoroughly enjoyed every morsel of this bread!! My husband loved it too. My KitchenAid had no problem stirring up this wonderful mixture!! I did not put in the raisins but I did put a crumb topping on one of the loaves and kept the other plain. Next time I think I will use the crumb topping and make the other one with a cinnamon and sugar topping. This bread is so easy to make and it tastes wonderful!!! Thanks for sharing this with all of us!!
