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

Delicious! My family loved this bread. It did not last long in our house. Very easy to whip up in no time at all.

Wonderful bread which we enjoyed. I used walnuts for the nuts and skipped the raisins. I used 4 small apples to make the bread, but didn't measure them. I did use a bit less cinnamon but otherwise made as directed, making 1 regular loaf, 1 med size one and one individual size loaf -- so we had one for dinner, one to bring to a luncheon and one for the freezer -- perfect! Thanks for sharing!

This is my second year making this bread and some in-between so needless to say this bread is being made again as we speak and put in Christmas bags....everybody loves it except for maybe one of my picky granddaughters who does not like nuts but I feel like it would just not be the same if you left out the nuts and raisins of which I love both so I make the picky eaters banana bread......I also like this recipe because it makes two loaves which shortens the time that I have to make Christmas breads......I already have 4 in the freezer so this will probably just about do it for Christmas.....thanks so much for such a wonderful recipe......can't get enough.....

Wow! This apple bread is delicious! Very moist and full of flavor. I skipped the raisins as my family doesn't care for them. I'll be making this again for sure!
