This apple bread recipe was given to me years ago by my friend Debbie. I've had it written down on a torn piece of paper for years and decided that this recipe needs to be shared. By far my favorite bread recipe!

Cook’s Note

I use firm apples that are good for baking. Braeburn, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, and Honeycrisp apples all work well.
