EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

To easily shred the apple, use a medium-sized grater.

For added fiber, leave the peel on the apple.

Make the bread ahead and refrigerate or freeze. The bread will actually become more moist and easier to slice after storage.

This is a perfect bread for gift giving! Bake it in a disposable aluminum foil pan. When cool, wrap in foil or colored plastic wrap and tie with a ribbon.

I started to make this recipe last year except I changed it up alittle bit. I add more chopped apples, chopped nuts, and I exchanged the dried cranberries for fresh ones, for a double recipe, I add a whole bag of fresh ones. I make a double recipe and I put it in a 9 x 13 pan. My family and all the neighbors just love it. I also take it to the nursing home where my mom is as a treat for her and her nurses. Everyone just loves it. Sharon Wild

This is a delicious bread. I just made it on the 21st of December. I read previous reviews first hand. Chopped the apple instead of grating it, used less sugar (2/3 cup),less oil (14 cup)and used 1/2 cup of apple sauce, 1/2 cup of walnuts and I did up the 8 mini loaves as a previous baker suggested.....everything worked out wonderful. A bread is usually heavier o don't worry about how thick it is, I wouldn't suggest watering it down. I gave 4 of the mini loaves to our local newspaper guy for his Christmas present along with some other baked goods & hubby & I just had two mini loaves for our breakie with coffee. A keeper!!!

I made this last night and it turned out great. Reading the other reviews, I made a few modifications - only 2/3 c. sugar instead of 3/4, replaced 1/2 c. oil with 1/4 c. oil and 1/4 c. applesauce, chopped instead of shredded the apples, and only 1/2 c. walnuts instead of 3/4 c. walnuts. Even though I let it cool overnight, it was still soft and crumbly to cut. Delicious though.
